About this map

Red Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this desert-like landscape of the Bighorn Basin during the early 1950s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainage patterns, where the Fivemile Creek and the North Fork Fifteennile Creek have carved intricate coulees through the sedimentary layers. This area, surveyed as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reveals a landscape largely devoid of permanent settlement, focused instead on the natural topography at the border of Big Horn Co and Washakie Co. The map illustrates the complex watershed system of the region, including the headwaters of the Middle Fork Tenmile Creek, providing a detailed record of the erosion patterns and landforms that characterize this portion of north-central Wyoming.
