2023 Map of Black Butte

About this map

Raft River Mountains dominate the northwestern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Box Elder County, where the terrain transitions into the wide expanse of Curlew Valley. The hydrology of this arid region is defined by Indian Creek and Tenmile Creek, which trace drainage patterns across the alluvial fans and volcanic elevations. A network of rural roads, including Kelton Rd and N Morris Ranch Rd, highlights the livestock-ranching and land-management corridors essential to this portion of northern Utah. The namesake Black Butte serves as a prominent landmark in the northeastern corner, anchoring a map that documents the persistence of open-range territory and the specific topographic contours of the Great Basin's northeastern edge.
