2011 Map of Froehlich Butte

About this map

Calf Creek and its seasonal tributaries define the drainage patterns of this Garfield County landscape, where the high plains are broken by a complex network of coulees and isolated buttes. The topography is dominated by dramatic landmarks such as Froehlich Butte, Castle Butte, and the distinctively named Devils Kitchen. In this ranching-focused interior, the human footprint is primarily marked by long-standing agricultural holdings including Brown Ranch, Hill Ranch, and Dutton Ranch. The reliance on water management in this arid environment is evident by the Brown Number 1 Dam, which serves the surrounding rangeland. Other prominent features like Buffalo Scott Butte and McTwigan Butte serve as critical navigation points across the undulating terrain, while Calf Creek RD provides the primary transit artery through the coulee-carved country.
