Melby Hill

Melby Hill, a bold promontory one and one half mile south and two west from Grace City Northeast 1/4 Section 29‑147‑64. On top of this hill are three well worn rings or circles. One large and two small. Drawing to left indicates shape dimensions. Evidently an old Indian pow‑wow ground. Possibly, Indian Spirit dance ground. Ed Halaas, Carrington, was possibly the first white man to view this hill. In 1884, while gathering buffalo bones went over this hill. The U.S. Geological survey in 1934 erected a signal tower on this hill. Same was put into use at once, then removed.
