Belle Benchmark

A string of buttes pimple the prairie as a BNSF hopper train runs south over the Orin Sub. Reading the topography maps, these buttes near Wright, WY are almost all the same height, but only the tallest (middle) is named. The top of Belle Benchmark is just over 5,000 feet above sea level, rising just over 200 feet up. The geologically small buttes still dwarf the hopper train in the frame.
