2017 Map of Fremont Butte

About this map

Fremont Butte rises above a high-desert landscape defined by the branching waters of the East Fork River and its numerous tributaries. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a sparsely populated region of Sublette County, where water resources are central to the landscape's utility and character. The presence of the Lander Cut-off Reservoir and various creeks such as Cottonwood Cr and Silver Cr highlight the vital role of drainage in this arid basin. Local infrastructure is largely tied to ranching and land management, evidenced by routes like Silver Creek Cemetery Rd and Mathis Ln. Notable thermal features, such as Steele Hot Springs, indicate the unique geothermal activity present in this corner of Wyoming, while the network of unpaved roads like E Fork Big Sandy Rd serves the remote grazing lands and wilderness access points.
