2010 Map of Bighole Butte

About this map

The Little Snake River meanders across the northern portion of this Moffat County landscape, defining the local hydrology near the Scandinavian Gulch. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Bighole Butte and the narrow passage of Bighole Gulch. This 2010 survey reflects a high-desert environment where industrial activity is represented by the Fourmile Creek Mine in the southern reaches. A network of rural routes, including County Hwy-4 and County Hwy-7, provides the primary infrastructure for this sparsely populated region, connecting remote ranching or mining interests to the broader county transportation system.
