1952 Map of Butte Well

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Butte Well and the remote high plains of Fremont County are captured in this mid-century survey, which reveals a landscape defined by the search for water and transportation across the basins. The importance of seasonal and subsurface water is evident through the naming of Horseshoe Creek, Muskrat Creek, and various family-named improvements such as the Mc Kenzie Windmill and Mc Kenzie Artesian Well. The presence of the Ohio Road and the Muskrat Landing Strip highlights the vital infrastructure needed for land and air travel in this part of Wyoming. Cultural landmarks like Leitch Reservoir and an Abandoned Ditch speak to the long-standing efforts to manage water for livestock or irrigation. The terrain is marked by distinctive topographic features such as Jumping-off and several drainage systems including Lame Jack Draw, Signor Draw, and Mahoney Draw.
