THE HUGHES LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Little Missouri Badlands setting.

Hughes township has 35.1 square miles of land in Slope County. Its Census reference point is in Little Missouri Badlands, within Northwestern Great Plains.

Rolling semiarid plains are punctuated by buttes, badlands and river breaks. Much of the regional terrain developed on sandstone, siltstone and shale without the leveling influence of continental glaciers.

Regional context: Northwestern Great Plains ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Hughes and Slope County

Hughes is associated with Slope County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Slope County

Hughes by land and water

The Census records 0.22 square miles of water within Hughes, or 0.6% of its total area. It is 0.3 percentage points higher than the 0.3% recorded for Slope County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Hughes township has 13.6 times the land area of nearby Marmarth city (2.58 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Hughes land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Hughes

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Hughes. Check the Slope County geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the Little Missouri Badlands setting

Little Missouri Badlands belongs to Northwestern Great Plains. Is the tract open rolling ground or broken badland terrain, and which access and stock-water records are available?

03

Check the route, beyond Marmarth

Marmarth is 3.3 miles southwest of the Hughes reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Hughes
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Hughes?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Slope County. Hughes’s 35.1 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Hughes property in Little Missouri Badlands?+

No. Little Missouri Badlands is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Hughes boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Marmarth as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 3.3 miles southwest of Hughes’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Hughes?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
