Hilliard was located about 15 miles south of Evanston. The timber was brought to Hilliard on a log flume from Bullionville, Utah, now a ghost town on the north slope of the Uinta Mountains. The timber would be cut into railroad ties or converted to charcoal for use in smelters near Salt Lake City. At one time Uinta County had about forty charcoal kilns. Of those kilns the only remnants are three kilms and the ruins of a fourth on private property at Piedmont, also a ghost town. It is estimated that by 1873 the area produced in excess of 100,000 bushels of charcoal per month.



Piedmont, southeast of Evanston, was settled about 1867 as a tie camp to provide railroad ties for the Union Pacific. The first two families to permanently settle in the area were those of Moses Byrne (1820-1904) from Cheshire, England, and Charles Guild (1826-1908) from Dundee, Scotland. Byrne constructed the charcoal kilns in the above photo and Guild established one of the first ranches in the Territory. The Guild Ranch is still in existence. Originally, the area was named "Byrne," but due to confusion with Byron Station was renamed Piedmont. Both Byrne's wife, Anne Beus, and Guild's wife, Marie Madeleine Cardon, were from Torino in the Piedmont area of northern Italy.
