2015 Map of Lost Wells Butte
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Midvale and the surrounding agricultural tracts of Missouri Valley define this portion of Fremont County, where a complex network of irrigation channels supported the high desert landscape. The presence of the Ocean Drain and various lateral channels, such as Lateral P-27.0- D, highlights the intensive water management required for ranching and farming in this arid region. The topography is anchored by Lost Wells Butte, which rises above the drainages of Fivemile Creek and Sand Gulch. This modern survey records the rural road network, including evocatively named routes like Bush-Wacker Rd and Sidewinder Rd, which connect remote homesteads in Paradise Valley to the main thoroughfare of Missouri Valley Rd. Local historians can trace the transition from open range to these irrigated valleys.
