About this map

Hangman Creek Valley dominates the eastern landscape of this early 1980s revision, where the watercourse carves a deep path through the plateau. The town of Spangle sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as an anchor for the surrounding agricultural community. The presence of Upper Columbia Academy and its associated Burlington Northern Landing Strip provides an interesting glimpse into the specialized infrastructure of the region.

Further south, the rural character is reinforced by landmarks such as Liberty High Sch and a Historical Monument near the southern reach of the creek. A dense network of named farm-to-market roads, including Waverly Road and Rattlers Run Rd, connects various rural properties and Gravel Pits, illustrating the local transportation and resource patterns of the era. The terrain transitions from the open flats of Courtney Canyon to the steep embankments along Rock Creek.
