About this map

Alkali Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this drainage-rich section of Weston County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal waterways and draws that illustrate the hydraulic character of the high plains in the early 21st century. Significant watercourses including Timber Cr, Rough Cr, and Sheep Cr weave across the terrain, shaping the local topography.

Evidence of historical land use and natural erosion patterns is visible through features like Coyote Draw and Finn Draw. The map meticulously documents the various branches of the creek systems, such as S Beaver Cr and Louise Cr, which serve as critical markers for local geography and property boundaries. This 2012 USGS record captures the sparsely populated ranching country as it appeared before further modern development altered the drainage patterns.
