About this map

Hill City sits as the central point of this agricultural and ranching landscape in southern Idaho, situated along the corridor of Old Hwy 68. The settlement is supported by a network of rural roads such as Swamp Rd and Vodermeier Rd, which connect the town to the local ranching infrastructure. Just north of the town center, the Hill City Cemetery serves as a significant landmark for those researching family history in Elmore County.

The hydrology of the area is defined by the winding course of Camas Creek to the south and Cow Creek to the north, the latter of which is managed by the Cow Creek Dam creating the Cow Creek Reservoir. To the south, the landscape becomes more dissected with features like Blackburn Gulch and Boyer Gulch, while the Tracy Ranch Airport highlights the necessity of private aviation for this remote ranching community. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of water management and transportation in this high-prairie environment.
