2012 Map of Church Butte

About this map

Blacks Fork winds through the high desert of southwestern Wyoming, anchoring a landscape shaped by intermittent water and early transportation corridors. The prominent landform of Church Butte stands in the southeast, serving as a landmark near Co Hwy 233. Historically significant travel routes are evidenced by Rocky Crossing on the Dry Muddy Cr, where early trails met the rugged drainage systems. The presence of the Church Buttes Siding indicates the vital role of the railroad in connecting this remote section of Uinta County to the wider region. Together with Muddy Cr, these features reveal a territory defined by the challenges of the arid basin and the infrastructure required to cross it.
