About this map

N Piney Cr and its parallel tributaries, Middle Piney Cr and S Piney Cr, dominate this high-plains landscape west of the Green River valley. The hydrology of the region is further defined by the Sixty-Seven Reservoir and the drainage patterns of McNinch Wash and Meadow Canyon Swale. Local landmarks like DB Budd Butte and Sixty-Seven Butte rise above the basin floor, providing vertical relief in a terrain primarily organized by large-scale ranching and grazing allotments.

Evidence of the cattle industry is seen in the network of rural roads such as Reservoir Ranch Rd and Star Corral Rd. The settlement of Big Piney appears on the eastern edge of the survey, serving as the local hub near the Plainview Cem. This map illustrates the intersection of natural watercourses and the human infrastructure required for resource management in Sublette County, with State Highway 350 cutting through the center of the township.
