2011 Map of Castle Butte

About this map

Castle Butte and the surrounding rangelands of Fergus County are defined by a network of drainage systems including Cottonwood Creek, Casino Creek, and Mill Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparsely populated landscape where modern infrastructure and recreational sites are integrated into the canyon-carved terrain. Camp Lewtana sits along the upper reaches of Mill Creek, while the Castle Hill Ski Area occupies the slopes on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map reveals the critical importance of regional services in this open country, specifically marking the Beaver Creek - Cottonwood Rural Fire Dist station. A series of deep incisions in the land, such as Hay Canyon and Lyon Canyon, trace the path toward the larger Beaver Creek drainage in the south.
