1986 Map of Clay Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Clay Buttes rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages in this mid-1980s Moffat County survey. The terrain is dominated by the sprawling Sand Wash and its various tributaries, including the North Fork Sand Wash and South Sand Wash. Water management for livestock or local needs is evident at the Clay Buttes Reservoir and Two Bar Spring, which serve as vital points in this arid environment. The naming of features like Pigpen Hill, Vaughn Draw, and Sheepherder Springs Draw reflects a history of local land use, likely tied to the region's ranching heritage. Several Drill Hole locations and a Corral scattered throughout the quadrangle further suggest a landscape balanced between resource exploration and traditional agricultural pursuits.
