2021 Map of Zimmerman Buttes

About this map

Zimmerman Buttes rise prominently along the border of Washakie and Hot Springs counties, defining a landscape of high-desert drainage patterns and critical water management. This recent survey illustrates a network of remote catchments such as William Reservoir, Election Reservoir, and Pixley Reservoir, which support life in an arid environment dominated by ephemeral watercourses. Long-established ranching and resource access are reflected in the paths of Neiber Rd and Potter Rd, which navigate the complex topography of Zimmerman Draw and Little Sand Draw. Geologic landmarks like Potter Butte and Rocky Point serve as navigational anchors in this sparsely populated territory, where Zimmerman Springs remains a vital natural feature.
