1968 Map of Monument Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Emigrant Trail (Sublette Cutoff) traces the northern horizon of this high-desert landscape, representing a vital historical shortcut for mid-19th-century travelers. By the late 1960s, the terrain south of the trail had become a network of ranching and resource roads, including the Hunt Road and Colorado Road. The map reveals a reliance on isolated water points in an arid environment, marked by named sources such as Monument Butte Well and Little Colorado Well No 13.
