1965 Map of Potato Butte

About this map

Potato Butte and its namesake Potato Butte Draw anchor this high-elevation landscape within the boundaries of the Wind River Indian Reservation. Situated along the border of Hot Springs and Fremont Counties, the area is defined by a series of prominent plateaus and seasonal water sources essential for survival in this arid environment. The map highlights the reliance on isolated water points like Rainwater Spring, Val Day Spring, and Sweetwater Spring located near the Sweetwater Basin.
