2012 Map of Black Buttes

About this map

Bitter Cr carves a winding path through this corner of Sweetwater County, providing a central drainage for the arid landscape south of Interstate 80. The settlement of Black Buttes sits at the junction of Co Rd 84 and Black Buttes Rd, marking a point of transition where local thoroughfares meet the expansive desert terrain. To the northwest, the map identifies Hallville, another small node of activity positioned along the creek. The topography is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of intermittent streams that feed into the main channel, illustrating the critical role of water courses in determining the placement of early ranching and transport infrastructure in the high desert of Wyoming.
