1961 Map of Ketchum Buttes

About this map

The Ketchum Buttes and surrounding high plains of Carbon County define this landscape in the early 1960s, a period marked by sparse ranching infrastructure and mineral exploration. The drainage network is complex, featuring the various branches of Cow Creek, including the Middle Fork and South Fork, which carve through the high elevations near Cow Creek Butte and Rendle Butte. At the southern edge, Cherokee Creek and Bird Gulch drain toward the basin, while Little Savery Creek cuts through the eastern terrain.
