2021 Map of Deadman Butte

About this map

Deadman Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of Natrona County, where the high desert terrain is defined by dramatic geological features like the Black Mesa and the striking Red Wall. The landscape is etched by a complex drainage system, with Sanchez Cr and N Fork Cottonwood Cr winding through the townships. The availability of water in this arid environment is highlighted by the presence of Sanchez Spring and the Dean Springs Draw, which likely served as vital points for livestock and early travelers. The road network, including Buffalo Creek Rd and Bighorn Mountain Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting remote rangelands. This survey provides a modern look at the traditional land divisions and topography of the Wyoming backcountry, capturing the enduring character of its ridges and creek beds.
