2017 Map of Indian Butte

About this map

Indian Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of Fremont County, anchoring a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and intermittent drainages. In a region where reliable water dictated the movement of livestock and early travelers, the presence of Horsethief Springs, Drip Spring, Finley Spring, and Gerton Spring suggests long-established routes across the high desert. The terrain is further shaped by Horsethief Gulch, which cuts through the central portion of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey shows the complex intersections of township and range lines, including t1n r6e and t36n r95w, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in organizing this arid territory. The map serves as a precise guide for understanding the natural landmarks and historic water points that continue to define the geography of the area.
