2015 Map of Rawhide Buttes East

About this map

Rawhide Buttes dominate the skyline along the border of Niobrara and Goshen counties, a rugged collection of peaks including Big Rawhide Butte and Middle Rawhide Butte. This 2015 high-plains landscape is defined by the intersection of isolated rangeland and essential water sources like Wolf Spring and the drainage of Rawhide Cr. The cartography reveals a sparse network of ranching roads, most notably Harris Ranch Rd and Co Line Rd, which trace the township and range lines across the undulating terrain. While the lower elevations are marked by intermittent flows such as Sand Draw and Cottonwood Cr, the northern reaches are anchored by Bald Butte, providing a detailed look at the geographic character of eastern Wyoming's rangelands at the start of the 21st century.
