1972 Map of Wedding Cake Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Wedding Cake Butte rises as a distinctive landmark above the high plains of the Union County panhandle, where the New Mexico border meets Colorado. This arid landscape is defined by the winding course of the Dry Cimarron River and its accompanying irrigation systems, including the North Beheimer Ditch and Roberts Ditch, which supported ranching operations in this isolated corner of the territory. Small ranching nodes like Sloan, Bontz, and Cochrane are visible, alongside a cemetery and Prospect site, hinting at the modest human footprint in this terrain of mesas and canyons.
