2022 Map of Square Top Mountain

About this map

Square Top Mtn and Rattlesnake Butte anchor this high-plains landscape in Upton County, where the terrain is defined by dry drainage systems and scattered ranching infrastructure. The arid environment is shaped by the winding courses of China Draw in the northeast and Fivemile Cr to the south, reflecting a topography where water is seasonal and defining. Transportation is primarily limited to a network of county roads such as Co RD 485 and Co RD 450, which connect isolated sections of the plains. A significant point of local interest for genealogists and family researchers is the E P Ranch Cem, a lone burial site located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle near the creek drainage, serving as a quiet reminder of the area's deep-rooted ranching heritage.
