2015 Map of Ketchum Buttes

About this map

Ketchum Buttes and the surrounding high-desert topography define this Carbon County landscape as it appeared in 2015. This survey documents a complex system of drainage and relief, where prominent landmarks like Lone Butte and Cow Creek Butte anchor the horizon. The presence of McCarty Canyon Rd and Wild Cow Rd indicates the primary corridors for access through this remote range, following natural contours of the land. Water management and seasonal flow are evidenced by named features such as Lake Draw, Canary Grove Draw, and Deep Gulch. The map reveals the intricate headwaters of the regional creek system, including the three forks of Wild Cow Cr and the eastward-flowing Little Savery Cr. Researchers can also trace the historical path of Cherokee Cr in the southern sections, providing insight into the naming conventions and geographical significance of this corner of Wyoming.
