2024 Map of Humbolt Hills

About this map

Humbolt Hills rises as the central topographic landmark along the high plains border of Montana and South Dakota. This modern topographic survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the drainage patterns of the region, where Boxelder Creek and Stony Creek carve through the arid terrain of Carter County and Harding County. The map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, centered on the corridor of Mill Iron Rd. The landscape is characterized by its isolation and the deep incisions of seasonal watercourses like Spring Creek and Seal Draw. The Public Land Survey System grid is clearly defined, showing the section lines of Township 1 North and Township 1 South, which serve as essential references for local land management and genealogical research in this remote corner of the American West.
