2015 Map of Haystack Buttes North

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-desert landscape in southwestern Wyoming, where the dramatic impoundment of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir has reshaped the local topography. This 2015 survey details the complex shoreline where the water meets the arid terrain of the Green River Basin. Significant landforms like the Big Bend and the namesake Haystack Buttes rise above the drainage systems of Buckboard Wash and Currant Cr. The map reveals a sophisticated network of Forest Service roads, such as NF-8 and NF-154, which provide access through the canyons and hollows of this protected federal land. Notable topographical features like Lowe Canyon and Squaw Hollow illustrate the rugged drainage patterns that feed into the reservoir, providing essential data for those studying the intersection of modern water management and the natural Wyoming wilderness.
