1968 Map of Clay Buttes SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Alkali Creek carves a sinuous path through this arid portion of Sweetwater County, defining the drainage patterns across a landscape of high plateaus and dissected ridges. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a sparsely settled terrain where transport was primarily limited to unimproved roads and cattle trails. The western edge is marked by Blue Rim Road 6 Mi., a critical access point for the region's ranching and resource activities. Elevated benchmarks like BM X 6963 provide precise vertical control for this high-altitude environment, while the lack of permanent settlements or structures highlights the remote, open-range character of the territory during this period. The survey effectively captures the intersection of Townships 21 and 22 North, illustrating the vast sections of public land that characterize the Wyoming interior.
