2017 Map of Dishpan Butte

About this map

Dishpan Butte serves as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape of central Wyoming, where the dramatic escarpment of Beaver Rim cuts across the terrain. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a region defined by its complex drainage systems and isolated water sources. The map tracks the winding path of Sand Draw Rd as it traverses between McTurk Ridge and Cedar Rim, providing access to this remote portion of Fremont County. Local hydrography is concentrated around intermittent springs such as Bear Spring, O'Brien Spring, and Wagon Bed Spring, which historically served as vital waypoints in an otherwise arid environment. The presence of named features like Government Slide Draw and Government Meadows Draw suggests a history of public land management and grazing activity on these slopes above W Fork Long Cr.
