1986 Map of Deer Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Continental Divide bisects this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, marking the dramatic physical transition within the Leucite Hills. The 1980s terrain is defined by its industrial and geological features, particularly the North Baxter Basin where numerous Gas Wells and Prospects indicate active resource extraction. Prominent landmarks such as Deer Butte, Cabin Butte, and Twin Rocks provide vertical relief against a network of drainages including Cedar Canyon, Long Canyon, and Crooked Canyon. To the southeast, the geography becomes increasingly complex near Pine Ridge and Horsethief Canyon, where detailed mapping of Tailings and various Prospect sites reveals the extent of local mining and exploration efforts during this era.
