2018 Map of Red Buttes

About this map

Red Buttes and the geological formation of The Buttes dominate this high-plains landscape in Albany County, Wyoming. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant drainage systems and water storage sites, including Harney Creek, Willow Creek, and Spring Creek, which feed into various man-made catchments like Harney Creek Reservoir and Hundred Springs Reservoir. The map reveals a sparse but established road network serving ranching and residential interests, with names like Simpson Springs Road, Gilmore Gulch Road, and Vista Grande Way branching off from the primary corridor of Route 287. The eastern portion of the sheet features more complex topography, including Sawmill Canyon and Government Gulch, indicating the transition into more broken country away from the creek valleys.
