2017 Map of Zimmerman Buttes

About this map

Zimmerman Buttes rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and intermittent water sources along the border of Washakie and Hot Springs counties. This terrain is marked by essential water management features such as William Reservoir, Election Reservoir, and Pixley Reservoir, which support life in this arid region. The land is etched by numerous draws, including Pistol Draw, Sand Draw, and Zimmerman Draw, illustrating a complex topography where seasonal runoff has carved deep paths through the soil. Grounded by early 21st-century infrastructure, the area is navigated via remote routes like Neiber Rd and Potter Rd. The presence of Zimmerman Springs and the flow of Nowater Cr suggest a landscape where water is the primary architect of movement and utility, connecting scattered landmarks like Rocky Point and Potter Butte.
