1968 Map of Pine Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Kinney Rim and Sand Butte Rim dominate this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, where complex drainage systems and isolated water sources defined the geography of the late 1960s and 1970s. The map illustrates a network of ephemeral washes and perennial points such as Jackknife Spring and Sand Butte Spring, which were vital markers for livestock and early travelers in this arid region. Significant erosional features like Dripping Rock Draw and Sand Butte Basin Creek reveal the intricate topography of the high plains, while the presence of scattered drill holes indicates subsurface exploration during this era. The map provides a detailed view of the natural hydrology, tracing the paths of Black Butte Creek and Alkali Creek as they carve through the sandstone formations.
