1961 Map of Pilot Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

White Mountain dominates the landscape of this Sweetwater County survey, showing the high desert plateau before the significant expansion of nearby Rock Springs. The 1961 field data, updated with 1976 aerial photography, documents a transition in land use from the established Fourteenmile Ranch in the north to the emerging Trailer Park and residential development near the Rock Springs Corporate Boundary in the southeast. Historical travel routes such as Chiltons and the Cutoff intersect the terrain near Fourteenmile Creek, providing evidence of the region's ranching and transit history. The prominent landmark of Pilot Butte stands in the southwest, while the rugged descent of Scott Canyon and the winding White Mountain Road trace the dramatic elevation changes that characterize this high Wyoming basin.
