2015 Map of Red Buttes

About this map

The Buttes and the namesake Red Buttes dominate this high-plains landscape in Albany County, where the high desert meets the foothills. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural Wyoming geography defined by its hydrology and livestock-driven ranching infrastructure. Numerous vital water sources are documented, including Simpson Springs, Soldier Spring, and Goforth Reservoir. The drainage patterns of Harney Cr and Simpson Springs Cr carve through distinct terrain features like Gilmore Gulch and Sawmill Canyon, providing a detailed look at the region's physical geography. Local road networks like City Ranch Rd and Sand Creek Rd connect these remote landmarks, offering a modern view of land use and property boundaries in the expansive Wyoming range.
