1968 Map of Monument Butte NE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Lincoln Road and Twelvemile Road intersect this high desert landscape in Sweetwater County, marking a network of remote thoroughfares used by ranchers and surveyors in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Eighteenmile Canyon and Twelvemile Canyon, which drain toward the south, while West Buckhorn Draw and East Buckhorn Draw carve the northern reaches of the sheet. The presence of several water sources, including Little Colorado Well No 8 and Little Colorado Well No 1, indicates the vital infrastructure required to sustain life and livestock in this arid environment. Evidence of geologic exploration appears at a Drill Hole near Monument Butte Road, while the survey marker at BM 6895 Sweetwater provides a fixed point of reference in an otherwise undulating expanse of sagebrush and canyon lands.
