2020 Map of Hickland Butte

About this map

Hickland Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this upland portion of Gilliam County, where the terrain is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the parallel paths of Eightmile Canyon and Fourmile Canyon, which dictate the local transport network. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Eightmile Cem in the north and the Tommy Dean Cem further south provides concrete points of reference for early family settlements in this high plateau region. The map captures the interface of the Gilliam Co Morrow Co line, showing how historical property divisions and roads like Mason Davidson Rd and Ione Rd follow the natural contours of the coulees and plateaus.
