2017 Map of Lombard Buttes

About this map

The Brigham Young 1847 trail and Emigrant Trl cut across this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, tracing the historical paths of westward migration along the river valley. The Green River serves as the central geographic feature, winding past Freezeout Island and Telephone Island in an area where the Big Sandy River also contributes to the local hydrology. This modern survey shows the continuity of these historic corridors alongside contemporary infrastructure like La Barge Rd and the Access Road to Seedskadee Refuge. Notable landmarks such as the Lombard Buttes and drainage systems including Eightmile Wash and Shute Cr illustrate the arid terrain that once challenged early travelers. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries where the high plains meet the riparian environments of the Green River basin.
