About this map

Butte Well sits at the center of this arid landscape in Fremont County, where drainage patterns and unpaved transit networks reveal the area's pastoral and industrial character. The map is defined by a series of significant topographic depressions, including Lame Jack Draw, Signor Draw, and Mahoney Draw, which channel intermittent water toward Horseshoe Creek. The presence of the Leitch Reservoir in the northeast corner underscores the importance of water management in this high-plains environment.

Transportation in this region is primarily utilitarian, dominated by the diagonal corridor of Gas Hills Rd. This main route is supplemented by a network of primitive paths, such as the Jeep Pasture Trl and the explicitly labeled Jeep Trail Thru Pasture, indicating the land's continued use for cattle grazing and energy access. The grid-like division of townships and ranges, such as t34n r92w, provides the underlying structure for these remote Wyoming rangelands.
