2017 Map of Square Top Butte

About this map

Square Top Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-plains landscape of Natrona County, where the high desert terrain is carved by the drainages of the Middle Fork Casper Cr and S Fork Casper Cr. The map illustrates a region defined by its topography and the practical infrastructure of the western ranching and energy landscape. To the east, the elevation rises toward the timbered slopes of Pine Mtn, while Smith Canyon cuts through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Transport through this open country is facilitated by the presence of Oil Camp Rd and Co Rd 210, routes that suggest the historical and ongoing industrial activity characteristic of Wyoming's interior basins. The intermittent flow of Coyote Cr further highlights the arid nature of this territory.
