Shatter Hill is a mesa in Barlow County in the Melisende Dulac Series.
Details
Located in a southern Barlow County, the Old Mortuary and Pioneer Cemetery can be found on its tableland, as well as Escallier Crater State Park. The northern rimrock of Shatter Hill is visible from Crestview, possibly inspiring the name of the high country hamlet. Kimble's Hole Mine is located at the foot of the hill in a draw on the southeast face of the hill.
During the early days of Oregon settlement, the mesa was unofficially known as Ragged Top. After the 1869 death of Oregon Trail pioneer Molly Claire Maguire due to a fall, the hill was often referred to as Molly Claire's Shattering. In time, the name was formalized as Shatter Hill.
