2015 Map of Butcher Knife Draw

About this map

Butcher Knife Draw and the surrounding high desert of the Green River Basin define this remote stretch of the Wyoming landscape. This terrain is characterized by a network of drainage features and seasonal water sources, which were historically vital for livestock and early travel in this arid region. The map reveals the intersection of the Uinta Co and Sweetwater Co line, crossing through varied topographic depressions like Chicken Draw, Tin Can Draw, and Mud Spring Hollow. Named water points such as Butcher Knife Spring and Shurtliff Spring offer localized points of interest for those studying the hydrology and land use of the area. Modern access is represented by gravel routes like Church Butte Rd and Hank Hollow Rd, which traverse the high-elevation flats and grassy basins.
