2020 Map of Tin Can Hill

About this map

Tin Can Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Petroleum County, where the high plains are deeply incised by a network of drainage features known as coulees. This 2020 map documents a landscape defined by ranching and traditional land use, where local names like Camelbratten Coulee and Raundal Coulee suggest the early homesteading history of the region. The drainage systems of Blood Cr in the north and Cottonwood Cr in the south dictate the local topography, while the presence of Kettle Spring indicates the critical importance of water sources in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to rugged routes such as Lower Tin Can Hill Rd and Tincan Hill Rd, which provide access through the complex terrain of Haley Coulee and Bissett Coulee.
