2020 Map of Smoky Butte

About this map

Smoky Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Garfield County, characterized by a sparse network of ranch roads and intermittent drainages. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Dry Creek and its various tributaries, including Smoky Butte Cr and Lone Tree Cr. This 2020 survey highlights the rural persistence of the region, where infrastructure is primarily limited to numbered routes like 17308 Rd and named thoroughfares such as Brusett Rd and Barney Murnion Rd. A notable point of historical and genealogical interest is The Zions Lutheran Cem, situated in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. In the north, the Piney Buttes provide additional topographic relief, while the Smokey Butte Rd serves as a primary artery through this cattle-country terrain.
