1960 Map of Bush Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Bush Butte and Black Mountain anchor this high-elevation terrain in Big Horn County, mapped for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The landscape is defined by deep incisions such as Trapper Canyon and Sheep Canyon, where water sources like Sheep Springs and Myers Spring provided vital points of access in an otherwise arid environment. The presence of numerous Jeep Trails winding through Webber Canyon and along Alkali Creek suggests a mid-century reliance on off-road transport for ranching or resource management. In the southeast, Dry Medicine Lodge Canyon cuts a significant path through the plateau, while the VABM Battle benchmark serves as a high-point survey marker. This 1960 field-checked data captures the network of remote springs and seasonal drainages, including Trapper Creek and Bush Creek, that sustained this portion of the Wyoming range.
