2014 Map of Kaminski Hill

About this map

Kaminski Hill and its namesake Kaminski Spring anchor this high plains landscape on the border of Valley and Daniels counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features typical of northeastern Montana, including Swift Coulee and Morgan Coulee, which cut through the drainage basins of Coal Cr and Roanwood Cr. The settlement pattern follows a rigid section-line grid established by the Public Land Survey System, with local transportation provided by a network of rural routes such as Bailey Rd, Jim Fossum Rd, and Fisher Rd. This 2014 survey shows the area of Happy Valley as a quiet ranching or agricultural region, where the vastness of the geography is punctuated by small, named landmarks and isolated water sources essential for livestock and land management.
