1964 Map of Butcher Knife Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Butcher Knife Spring and Shurtliff Spring serve as critical water points in this arid corridor along the boundary of Uinta and Sweetwater Counties. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, notably Butcher Knife Draw and the distinctive Tin Can Draw, which cut through the high desert terrain. Evidence of mid-century industrial activity and land use is visible through scattered infrastructure, including a Gravel Pit, a remote Landing Area, and several Gas Wells. The network of seasonal watercourses like Big Dry Creek and Dry Wash illustrates the challenging environment where these few named springs provided essential resources for livestock and early travel through the southwestern Wyoming draws.
