2011 Map of Hamilton

About this map

Hamilton and Courtrock anchor this survey of the Grant County high country, where the landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks and deep drainage basins. The settlement of Hamilton sits near the northern boundary at the confluence of several branches of Deer Creek, including the West Fork Deer Creek and East Fork Deer Creek. Significant topographic landmarks such as Sunken Mountain and Hamilton Mountain overlook the various canyons that carve through the region, including Sweek Canyon and Merrill Canyon. Evidence of early community life is preserved through labels for the Hamilton Cemetery and Schoolhouse Hill, while the remote southern reaches are marked by Eagle Rock and the winding course of Camp Creek. The map details a network of rural routes, notably the Kimberly Long Creek Hwy and the Monument to Courtrock Rd, which historically connected these isolated ranching and homesteading locales.
