Haystack Butte
A few miles north of Farson

A small picturesque butte is immediately adjacent to the ruts of the Sublette Cutoff about a mile west of the crossing of the Big Sandy and a few miles north of Farson, Wyoming. It is unusual in that it stands alone on the flat prairie and is visible for many miles despite its relatively small size. Back in 1849 forty-niner J. Goldsborough Bruff estimated its height at eighty feet, but it is now greatly diminished in size.
