2018 Map of Pilot Butte

About this map

White Mtn dominates this portion of Sweetwater County, creating a massive high-elevation plateau that divides the landscape northwest of Rock Springs. The topography is defined by sharp erosion, where drainage systems like Skunk Canyon, Scott Canyon, and Greasewood Canyon cut deep into the mountain’s western flanks. While the rugged upper elevations remain largely undeveloped, the southern and eastern edges of the map show the encroaching residential expansion of North Rock Springs. This growth is evidenced by a dense network of suburban streets such as Lakota Dr and Fairview Ln, which terminate abruptly against the rising slopes of the mountain. Farther north, the land remains dominated by open range and ranching access, with routes like Stassinos Ranch Rd and Chiltons Cutoff traversing the high desert. To the southwest, the distinctive landmark of Pilot Butte stands as a prominent volcanic remnant overlooking the surrounding plains.
