2012 Map of Lost Creek Butte NW

About this map

Old Osborne Cabin stands as a lonely human marker in this expansive high-desert corridor of Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The terrain is characterized by the sweeping depressions of the Lost Creek Basin and the shifting Little Sand Dunes in the north, illustrating the raw geological and environmental forces at play. This 2012 survey details a network of unpaved access routes including Red Desert Rd, Luman Rd, and BLM Road 3208, which crisscross the landscape to provide transit through the basin and around the distinct curve of Horseshoe Bend. The map documents the persistent Cattle and Bureau of Land Management presence in this remote interior, where modern infrastructure remains sparse and oriented toward resource management and navigation through the Red Desert.
