1963 Map of Whiskey Buttes

About this map

Whiskey Basin and the prominent Whiskey Buttes dominate this high-desert landscape in the southwest corner of Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the Sevenmile Gulch and South Fork, which carve through the land before reaching the eastern boundary. Part of the Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge is visible along the eastern edge, highlighting the area's conservation significance. The map illustrates a remote environment primarily accessed by a network of Jeep Trails and unnamed roads, reflecting the character of Sweetwater County before extensive modern development. Traces of seasonal water flow are evident in features like West Otterson Wash and Yellow Point Fork, while Shute Creek cuts across the northern section of the survey.
