1968 Map of Earnest Butte

About this map

Earnest Butte dominates this high-desert landscape in southwestern Wyoming as it was recorded during a 1968 field check. The terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and canyons, most notably Dry Canyon and the sharply cut Burnt Canyon. Water sources, while sparse, are clearly marked through landmarks such as Dry Canyon Spring, South Spring, and South Spring Draw, indicating the critical nature of these points for both cattle ranching and local wildlife.
