1988 Map of Five Fingers Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Cyclone Rim dominates the upper half of this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, marking a significant topographic divide where the terrain drops toward the drainage basins of Red Creek and Bear Creek. In this arid interior of Wyoming during the late 1980s, water sources like Kinch McKinney Spring and Osborne Spring were vital points of orientation for land management and cattle ranching. The presence of the John Hay Reservoir in the southwest corner and Scotty Lake to the north further illustrates the reliance on both natural and man-made water storage in this section of the Great Divide Basin. Named features like Five Fingers Butte and Bastard Butte serve as stark landmarks across the open range, while the inclusion of the Bastard Butte Well highlights the ongoing search for subsurface resources in a region defined by its wide, wind-swept basins and isolated geologic formations.
