Location and terrain

Stockton Hill is located a butte-like rocky hill atop the Bonaparte Plateau at the head of the Deadman River and 7 km (4 mi) south of Bonaparte Lake and 30 km (19 mi) west of Barriere and northeast of Silwhoaikun. There are other summits higher than 1,500 m (4,921 ft) in the hills in the immediate area, but Stockton Hill is the highest, and the most distinct and steep-sided.[1] Bare Lake is immediately north, Elbow Lake to the southwest, and an unnamed lake to the south-southeast.
