Hi Carole, I have a hunch that this "Gravel Hill" of old may have been bull dozed flat to get all the gravel out of it and I agree, it may very well be as you say, that Gravel Hill is spread all over the entire County now and part of it might be in your driveway?! :-] If this is true then there would be no more Gravel Hill for anyone to refer to. I have done very little research on old maps and I think that would be worth time studying. If Gravel Hill is gone it may very well show up on some old map when it did exist, so I agree with that point you made. I have not tried the USGS site. I will try that.

There are probably hills of gravel all up and down the Willamette Valley and the Columbia River Valley, too. Any river valley. The guys with the bull dozers just keep scooping them away. You might try the Oregon Highway Department....they may have some suggestions. You should be really prepared for their questions. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathan Haines Sr." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 10:28 AM Subject: Re: [GFO] Gravel Hill > Hi Carole, > I have a hunch that this "Gravel Hill" of old may > have been bull dozed flat to get all the gravel out of > it and I agree, it may very well be as you say, that > Gravel Hill is spread all over the entire County now > and part of it might be in your driveway?! :-] > If this is true then there would be no more Gravel > Hill for anyone to refer to.
