Hayton RoadHistorical Map Story Title

Established 1904. Hayton Road runs from Todd Road to Oyama Lake Road. Jack Hayton was a respectable English remittance man, who ran 200 cattle and 100 horses on the V bar V ranch before Vernon Ellison came to the valley. He bought the ranch from H. Furnass who had acquired the Bovee Brother's place. Later Fleetwood Wilson, another remittance man, a bachelor and a real English gentleman, raised cattle on this V Bar V Ranch. Hayton Creek, also known as Spring Creek, was named after Jack Hayton. This creek runs across Sawmill Road down to the Oyama Swamp on the isthmus.
