2021 Map of Five Fingers Butte

About this map

Five Fingers Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape of Sweetwater County, where the topography is defined by the sharp rise of Cyclone Rim and the isolated profile of Bastard Butte. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a territory primarily managed by the Bureau of Land Management, as evidenced by a network of access routes like BLM RD 3219 and BLM RD 3225. The arid environment is punctuated by vital water sources, including the secluded Kinch McKinney Spring and Osborne Spring, alongside drainage systems like Bear Cr and Red Cr. In the southern reaches, the John Hay Reservoir and Scotty Lake to the north represent significant catchment features in an area where water management is central to the land's utility.
