1960 Map of Bush Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Bush Butte rises prominently above a landscape defined by deep drainages and high plateaus in this western Wyoming quadrangle. The map captures the complex topography of the Big Horn Basin foothills, where significant water features like Medicine Lodge Creek and Dry Medicine Lodge Creek cut through the terrain. A sophisticated network of early transport is visible through numerous unnamed trails and jeep trails that navigate around Trapper Creek Canyon and Webber Canyon. This 1960 field-checked survey was conducted by the Geological Survey as part of a Department of the Interior program to develop the Missouri River Basin. The presence of isolated landmarks such as Myers Spring and Sheep Springs suggests a reliance on scattered water sources for grazing and travel in the high-elevation backcountry beneath Black Mountain.
