1970 Map of Powder Mountain NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Willow Creek and its various tributaries, including the East Branch and West Branch, dominate the hydrology of this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County. The topography is defined by sharp elevation changes along a prominent Rim, where numerous Jeep Trails wind through the breaks and drainages. Isolated landmarks such as Church Butte and Courthouse Butte stand out in the northeast, while small water sources like Lower Willow Creek Spring and the Sandy Butte Reservoir highlight the importance of water management in this arid region. The drainage patterns of Grindstone Wash and Reader Draw illustrate the erosive forces that have shaped the territory, creating a complex network of dry washes and seasonal creek beds that would have been vital orientation points for ranchers and travelers moving across this portion of Wyoming.
