About this map

The North Platte River cuts across the northwest corner of this Wyoming landscape, carving through a high-elevation terrain defined by complex drainage networks. Multiple seasonal and perennial streams, including Bear Cr and Bolton Cr, dissect the land, feeding into the primary river system. This network of waterways, featuring the E Fork Bear Cr and the descriptively named Wash-Out Cr, indicates a highly eroded environment where water has shaped the topography over eras.

Surface transportation is limited to a handful of established routes that follow the natural contours of the drainage basins. Rural access is provided by roads such as Bolton Creek Rd and Ledge Creek Rd, which provide passage through the townships of t30n r81w and t29n r81w. The presence of Trapper Route J Rd reflects the long-standing use of the area for transit and resource access in this part of Natrona County.
