1960 Map of Bush Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Trapper Canyon cuts a deep path through this high-elevation landscape of the Big Horn range, where vertical relief is defined by prominent landforms like Bush Butte and the northern slopes of Black Mountain. Surveyed in the late 1950s, the terrain is marked by a network of seasonal water sources such as Sheep Springs, Myers Spring, and Canyon Spring, which were vital for the livestock operations indicated by the numerous fence lines crisscrossing the high country. At the summit of the range, VABM Battle 8760 serves as a primary survey point overlooking the drainages of Battle Creek and Jack Creek. The map documents a sparsely settled wilderness accessible primarily via Jeep Trails, illustrating the geography of Wyoming's backcountry before modern developments. Narrow corridors like Webber Canyon and Dry Medicine Lodge Canyon further showcase the complex erosion patterns typical of this arid, high-altitude environment.
