2017 Map of Sam George Hill

About this map

Sam George Hill rises above a landscape defined by the deep incisions of the Dry Fork Marias River and its many tributary coulees in this section of Pondera County. The small settlement of Manson sits in the northeast, serving a region where ranching and agriculture are organized around the local topography. Significant landforms like Benton Bench and Uncle Sam Coulee characterize the terrain, while water management is anchored by the Conrad Reservoir. A dense grid of rural roads and lanes, such as Coalmine Rd and Graham Ranch Ln, reflects a long history of land division and homestead access across the plains. Researchers will find numerous family-named landmarks including Haatvedt Coulee and DeBoer Coulee, which often signify the original settlers of these drainages.
