2020 Map of Appendicitis Hill

About this map

Appendicitis Hill dominates this high-altitude landscape where the mountains descend into the Big Lost River Valley. This 2020 survey details a complex network of water management essential to the region's agricultural viability, featuring the Blaine Canal, Moore Canal, and Lower Blaine Canal winding through the lowlands. Near the northern boundary between Custer and Butte counties, the terrain is marked by deep drainage systems including Newman Canyon, Hammond Canyon, and Little Chokecherry Canyon. For those tracing local history or genealogy, the Lost River Cem is a primary landmark situated near the banks of the Lost River. The map also captures the path of Doyle Creek Rd as it cuts across the southern foothills, providing access to secluded points like Sorenson Spring.
