1960 Map of Lost Creek Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lost Creek Basin and the surrounding high plains of the Red Desert Basin dominate this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is defined by its seasonal hydrology and livestock history, where intermittent water sources like Twentymile Hole and Lost Creek Butte Lake supported a network of isolated outposts. Ranching operations are clearly marked by the presence of the Buzzard Sheep Camp, Rasmussen Sheep Camp, and the Circle Bar Sheep Camp, indicating the significance of sheep herding in this part of Sweetwater County. The map also captures remnants of earlier habitation at the Old Osborne Cabin. Notable landforms such as Siberia Ridge and Dennison Cap break the steady grade of Battle Spring Flat, while scattered industrial markers like the Flowing Well point to the ongoing search for water and resources in this arid environment.
