2014 Map of Hickland Butte

About this map

Hickland Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Gilliam County, where the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Eightmile Canyon and Fourmile Canyon. The map reveals a rural network of roads including Eightmile Rd and Fourmile Rd that navigate the high plateau and canyon floors. Genealogists will find historical interest in the small, localized burial sites of Eightmile Cem and Tommy Dean Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns and family histories of this high desert region. The transition from t1n r22e to t1s r22e marks the section lines that historically organized land ownership in this part of Oregon. This survey captures a sparse but precisely documented environment where geographic features like Cow Canyon provided essential orientation for early residents and travelers along the Baseline Ln and Mason-Davidson Rd.
