2014 Map of Appledale

About this map

Appledale sits near the crossing of Palisades Rd and the seasonal waters of Douglas Cr, marking a pocket of settlement along the border of Douglas and Grant counties. This 2014 survey illustrates a high-desert landscape defined by deep topographical depressions and high ridges, notably Badger Mtn and the sprawling Beezley Hills. The presence of Willow Springs and Baird Springs hints at the critical water sources that dictated early routing in this arid region. Significant erosional features like Sutherland Canyon, Lynch Coulee, and Crater Coulee dominate the terrain, while a meticulous grid of rural routes including Road 12 NW and Road 13 NW reveals the structured agricultural and ranching layout of the modern plateau.
