2021 Map of Lombard Buttes

About this map

Lombard Buttes stands as a prominent landmark in this portion of the Green River Basin, where historic western migration routes intersect the modern landscape. The path of the Brigham Young 1847 route and the Emigrant Trl wind through the arid terrain, marking the enduring significance of this corridor for transcontinental travel. The Green River meanders through the eastern half of the map, joined by the Big Sandy River and creating distinctive riverine features such as Freezeout Island and Telephone Island. This intersection of major waterways and historical trails illustrates the region's importance as both a navigational barrier and a vital resource for travelers. Contemporary access is maintained via La Barge Rd and the Access Road to Seedskadee Refuge, which cut across the high desert washes of Eightmile Wash and West Otterson Wash.
