About this map

Tule Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert portion of Sweetwater County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and early transportation routes. The convergence of Pacific Cr and N Pacific Cr near the northern boundary highlights the critical water sources that once sustained travelers through this arid region. Further south, the terrain becomes more complex as it approaches the Jack Morrow Hills and the steep contours of South Packsaddle Canyon.

Evidence of the area's utility to modern land management and historical passage is found in the presence of Tri Territory Rd and Pete Spring. This 2017 survey documents the intersection of local infrastructure and natural features, such as Jack Morrow Cr, within the vast township boundaries of the Great Divide Basin area. These maps are essential for tracing the modern footprints of old western trails and identifying specific family-named landmarks in a remote Wyoming wilderness.
