Stockton Hill is located a butte-like rocky hill atop the Bonaparte Plateau at the head of the Deadman River and south of Bonaparte Lake and west of Barriere and northeast of Silwhoaikun. There are other summits higher than in the hills in the immediate area, but Stockton Hill is the highest, and the most distinct and steep-sided. Bare Lake is immediately north, Elbow Lake to the southwest, and an unnamed lake to the south-southeast.
