1968 Map of Pine Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Kinney Rim and Sand Butte Rim define this arid landscape in Sweetwater County, where the high desert terrain is carved by a complex network of seasonal drainages. These prominent escarpments overlook a territory marked by early exploration and resource survey, indicated by scattered Drill Hole locations. Water sources are scarce but critical, centered on isolated points like Jackknife Spring and Sand Butte Spring. The drainage patterns, including Black Butte Creek and the winding Dripping Rock Draw, illustrate how water has shaped the high plains. This 1968 survey reveals a territory primarily used for open-range grazing and mineral exploration, where the vast scale of the terrain is broken only by these named waterholes and the sharp lines of the western rims.
