2012 Map of Argo Butte

About this map

The Wind River carves through this high-desert landscape in Fremont County, where water management and energy extraction define the local geography. Significant irrigation infrastructure is visible through the winding paths of the Winchester Ditch, Hurtado Ditch, and Deshaw Ditch, which support the surrounding terrain. To the south, the Winkleman Dome Oil Field sits near the geologic rise of Winkleman Dome, illustrating the region's industrial footprint. The terrain is marked by distinctive formations such as Argo Butte and Winchester Butte, overlooking the broad expanse of Bighorn Flat. Riparian features like Martin Ponds and the seasonal flows of Dry Cr and Sage Cr contrast with the arid draws, providing a detailed view of the interaction between the river system and the plateau.
