2015 Map of Budd Reservoir

About this map

Joe Budd Reservoir serves as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Sublette County, where seasonal water management and grazing determine the character of the terrain. The map details a complex network of ephemeral drainages and deep incisions, including Antelope Draw, Ryegrass Draw, and Billies Draw, which define the local topography. To the southwest, the distinctive profile of Dead Indian Dome rises near Meadow Canyon, marking a transition in the land's elevation. The presence of Bureau of Land Management routes like BLM-5204 and local tracks such as Gujo Budd Rd indicates a territory utilized primarily for resource access and livestock range, while the headwaters of Muddy Cr and Meadow Canyon Cr highlight the vital, if intermittent, presence of water in this arid environment.
