2017 Map of Snider Hill

About this map

Snider Hill and Monument Butte dominate this landscape where the high plains of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota converge. The geography is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including the various branches of Coal Bank Cr and the winding course of Boxelder Creek. This tri-state boundary area serves as a significant corner for Fallon and Carter Counties in Montana, Bowman County in North Dakota, and Harding County in South Dakota. Transport through this remote rangeland follows established routes like Webster Rd and the Horse Creek Trl, reflecting a long-standing pattern of cattle ranching and land management. The presence of numerous named watercourses such as Sheep Cr and Soda Cr underscores the importance of watershed management in this semi-arid environment during the early 21st century.
