2020 Map of Monument Hill

About this map

Monument Hill and the Beezley Hills dominate the high ground of this Grant County landscape, showing the complex topography of the plateau above the Columbia Basin. The terrain is defined by a series of steep coulees and ridges, where the high-elevation views from Monument Hill Rd NW contrast with the agricultural activity emerging to the south. Along the southern edge of the quadrangle, the Quincy Lateral Canal marks the transition into the irrigated lands of Quincy, illustrating the critical role of water management in this arid region. The network of section-line roads, such as Adams Rd N and Martin Rd NW, provides a structured grid for accessing the high desert and agricultural fringes, while Baird Springs Rd NW cuts across the northern slopes.
