1968 Map of Earnest Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Earnest Butte stands as the primary landmark in this high desert landscape of Sweetwater County, where the topography is defined by intricate drainages and seasonal water sources. The 1968 field survey, later updated in the late 1970s, reveals a network of ephemeral watercourses including Bitter Creek, Worm Creek, and Circle Creek that have carved deep features like Dry Canyon and Burnt Canyon. These geographic labels reflect the arid character of the region, punctuated only by vital watering points such as Dry Canyon Spring, South Spring, and a lone unnamed Spring.
