2017 Map of Hiland

About this map

Hiland sits at a geographic crossroads in Natrona County, where the high desert landscape is defined by the ephemeral waters of the S Fork Powder River and the winding course of Poison Cr. This 2017 U.S. Geological Survey topographic map captures a network of livestock-supporting infrastructure, characterized by numerous catchment basins including Dead Horse Reservoir, Neal Reservoir, and Adobe Reservoir. The presence of the Hiland Cem north of the main settlement provides a vital anchor for genealogists and local historians tracking the sparse population of this rural corridor. Significant terrain features such as Needles Eye Butte and the Sand Draw break the open plains, while local routes like Hiland Ln and Co Rd 212 connect the scattered homesteads and ranching tracts across the northern reaches of the t36n r88w and t36n r87w townships.
