Finding a lot on the Havre GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, and for Havre that means the Montana Cadastral.
The viewer Hill County publishes
Begin with the Montana Cadastral; it includes every assessed parcel around Azure and Hingham. For property near Azure, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For property near Azure, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.

Havre lies within Hill County, Montana, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, Havre hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. For a parcel near Azure, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the town limits toward Azure usually follows county rules rather than the town's.
Reading the legal description
Montana is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Hingham reference sections and townships.
