2012 Map of Arapahoe Butte

About this map

The high desert landscape of Fremont County is defined here by sparse ranching outposts and a complex drainage system tributary to the Big Horn Basin. Cattle ranching operations including Reck Ranch, Mack Ranch, and the Bow and Arrow Ranch are positioned along the seasonal watercourses that carve through this arid terrain. The map is anchored by prominent landmarks such as Arapahoe Butte in the northwest and Chalk Butte near the center, which serve as navigational markers across the draws and ridges. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by isolated reliable sources like Willow Spring and Puzzle Spring. The transportation network is limited to a few arterial routes like Lysite Creek Rd and Bridger Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of Lysite Cr and Bridger Cr, connecting the remote homesteads of the Wyoming interior.
