2017 Map of Teakettle Butte

About this map

Teakettle Butte rises as a prominent landmark in the high desert landscape of Sweetwater County, marking a terrain defined by subtle elevation changes and drainages like Jonah Gulch. The southern portion of this region is defined by the historic path of the California-Oregon Trl, tracing the footsteps of nineteenth-century emigrants across the sagebrush-covered plains. The map illustrates a contemporary layer of access through a network of Bureau of Land Management routes, including Blm Rd 4204 and Blm Rd 4207, which crisscross the Public Land Survey System sections. This 2017 survey documents the intersection of modern resource management roads with one of the most significant westward migration corridors in American history, situated along the border of Sublette and Sweetwater counties.
