About this map

Indian Butte stands as the central topographical landmark in this 2021 survey of the Fremont County landscape. The area is defined by a series of drainages and seasonal water sources, most notably the network of springs located in the northern portion of the quadrangle. These include Drip Spring, Finley Spring, and Gerton Spring, which suggest the vital importance of reliable water access in this high-desert environment.

Further east, the terrain becomes more broken around Horsethief Gulch and the nearby Horsethief Springs. The map clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System grid, including the convergence of Township 2 North and Township 36 North, illustrating the complex intersection of different survey baselines in central Wyoming. This record provides a clear view of the undeveloped open range as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
