2021 Map of Potato Butte

About this map

The boundary between Hot Springs and Fremont Counties runs across the southern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where drainage patterns and naming conventions suggest a history of prospecting and ranching. The namesake Potato Butte stands as a central landmark, flanked by significant topographical features such as Big Table Mtn and Round Top Mtn. The presence of Miners Gulch and Black Rock Draw indicates the region's mineral interests, while a network of springs—including Sweetwater Spring, McQueen Spring, and Merrill Spring—supports life in this arid environment.
