1996 Map of Haystack Buttes South

About this map

The Green River carves a deep path through southern Wyoming, its waters held by the Flaming Gorge Reservoir as it passes through the Ashley National Forest. This 1996 revision shows the landscape after the completion of the dam, with the reservoir reaching an elevation of 6,040 feet. The terrain is marked by prominent landforms such as the Haystack Buttes and the steep walls of The Glades. Infrastructure supporting the region's utilities and management is visible, including a Gas Pipeline, a Cathodic Protection Station, and a Pumping Station. The map also captures the complex hydrology of the canyon country, where drainages like Twin Buttes Draw and Wildhorse Draw feed into the reservoir within the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.
