2017 Map of Black Butte

About this map

Black Butte rises as a distinct landmark in this high-desert landscape of northwestern Utah. The map details the arid drainage patterns where seasonal waters like Indian Cr and Tenmile Cr navigate the terrain, eventually descending toward the southern expanse of the Curlew Valley. This 2017 survey reflects a sparsely populated region defined by its large-scale township and range boundaries, including t13n r12w and t13n r11w. The road network is strictly functional, consisting of long-haul desert routes such as Kelton Rd and Indian Creek Rd that follow the natural contours of the valley floor. These corridors serve as the primary lifelines through the Great Basin territory, connecting remote ranching lands and emphasizing the vast distances between northern Utah settlements.
