2023 Map of Devils Gap

About this map

Brown Cem sits at the heart of this landscape, a lone historical marker in a region defined by its complex drainage systems and deep canyons. The terrain is a network of named hollows and canyons, including Cayuse Canyon, Tivate Canyon, and Wallace Canyon, which channel water toward Rock Creek and the South Fork Rock Creek. This area on the Gilliam County and Morrow County line is characterized by its high-altitude springs and ridges, such as Box Elder Spring and the titular Devils Gap. A series of ridge-top and canyon-floor roads, including Cayuse Canyon Rd and Hale Ridge Rd, follow the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated points across the rugged topography. The mapping reveals a sparse settlement pattern dominated by topographic navigation and traditional land divisions.
