2015 Map of Mahogany Butte

About this map

Mahogany Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this arid portion of Washakie County, where a network of drainages defines the high desert landscape. The Nowood River meanders across the territory, joined by numerous seasonal watercourses including Redbank Cr, Box Elder Cr, and the three forks of Little Canyon Creek. This 2015 survey reflects a sparsely populated area primarily dedicated to open-range activities, as evidenced by several State Land Acc zones providing public entry points. Transportation in this corner of Wyoming is limited to a few arterial routes like CR-r82 and the winding Cherry Creek Rd. A notable human-made feature in the northwest corner is the Need Water Reservoir, a vital water management point for this dry environment. The map captures the specialized geography of the region, from the natural drainage of S V Draw to the winding course of Garden Cr.
