2015 Map of Lost Creek Butte SW

About this map

Red Desert Basin characterizes this section of the Wyoming high desert, a landscape defined by its subtle drainage patterns and vast openness. The hydrology is dominated by Red Wash Draw, which meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the ephemeral nature of water in this arid environment. Transportation across the basin is sparse, anchored primarily by Red Desert Rd in the southeast corner. The survey meticulously documents the township and range system, including t22n r96w and t21n r95w, providing a clear geometric framework for the land management of Sweetwater County. The topographic detail reveals a series of low-lying buttes and depressions that dictated the movement of early travelers and livestock through this remote corridor.
