1968 Map of Black Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Union Pacific rails and the historic path of the Overland Trail converge in this high-desert corridor of Sweetwater County. The map documents a landscape defined by transportation history and resource extraction, anchored by the Black Buttes Stage Station (Ruins). This site, along with various other Ruins and a lone Grave, speaks to the transitory nature of early western settlement along the Bitter Creek drainage.
