2015 Map of Bell Butte

About this map

Bell Butte stands as the central landmark in this high-altitude corner of Southwest Wyoming, where the drainage systems of the Green River Basin begin to take shape. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation of the borderlands between Lincoln Co and Uinta Co reveals a landscape dominated by complex hydrological networks rather than human settlements. The map traces the intricate headwaters of Sheep Creek, including its North, Middle, and South Forks, which carve through the high-elevation terrain. Access to this remote region is primarily defined by Carter Creek Rd in the southwest, while the northern reaches are marked by Carter Creek and South Fork Pine Hollow Creek. The absence of towns or structures highlights the area's primary character as open rangeland or protected wilderness, essential for tracking natural water flow and topographic changes over time.
