About this map

Chimney Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Sublette County, defining a region where water management is central to the land's utility. The presence of the Chimney Butte Reservoir near the center of the map highlights the critical role of surface water storage in this arid environment. The drainage patterns are dominated by the meandering course of Dry Piney Cr to the south and the topographical depressions of Lackey Draw and Dry Basin further north.

A network of specialized thoroughfares, including Middle Piney Rd and Dry Piney Rd, provides access across the sagebrush-covered terrain. These routes follow the natural corridors carved by the creek systems, connecting isolated points such as Bailey Cone to the broader county infrastructure. This 2012 survey documents a landscape focused on ranching and resource management, where named geographic features serve as essential navigation points in an expansive, open territory.
