2012 Map of Fremont Butte

About this map

Fremont Butte rises above a high-plains landscape defined by a complex drainage network in Sublette County, where the E Fork River and its numerous tributaries like Silver Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Muddy Cr converge. The topography is marked by the winding channels of these watercourses, which historically dictated the placement of early ranching infrastructure and trails. Local roads often carry the names of early settling families or geographical landmarks, such as Martin Jensen Rd and Pocket Creek Rd. A notable point for historical research is the Silver Creek Cemetery Rd, which hints at the locations of early burials and pioneer community centers. The presence of the Lander Cutoff Reservoir provides a reference to the historic westward migration route that once traversed this part of the Wyoming frontier.
