2017 Map of Five Fingers Butte

About this map

Five Fingers Butte and the surrounding high desert of Sweetwater County define this corner of the Wyoming landscape. The terrain is shaped by the prominent Cyclone Rim to the north and the water systems of Bear Cr and Red Cr, which drain the arid basin. This map documents a region heavily managed for public use, evidenced by the extensive network of Bureau of Land Management routes, including BLM RD 3219 and BLM RD 3225. Isolated water sources such as Kinch McKinney Spring and Osborne Spring highlight the critical nature of hydrology in this high-altitude environment. To the south, the John Hay Reservoir serves as a significant landmark, while Bastard Butte stands as a distinct topographical feature near the eastern boundary of the quadrangle.
