2015 Map of Shotgun Butte

About this map

Shotgun Butte rises above the high plains of Fremont County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. This 2015 survey reveals how local watercourses like Muddy Creek and the various branches of Sheep Cr, including the W Fork Sheep Cr and E Fork Sheep Cr, have carved the terrain over generations. The presence of Arapahoe Ranch Rd and Harris Rd suggests the enduring importance of ranching and livestock movement in this part of Wyoming. These routes, along with Shotgun Butte Rd, represent the primary human imprint on an otherwise open territory where the Public Land Survey System grid lines intersect with natural features like Deer Cr and McKee Draw Cr.
