2021 Map of Alcova SE

About this map

The North Platte River cuts through the northwest corner of this terrain in Natrona County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and historic passage routes. Evidence of the region’s ranching and transit history is clear in the Bates Hole Stock Trl and the Trapper Route Rd, which follow the contours of the land between the high ridges. This 2021 survey shows a topography carved by water, with Bear Creek and its various branches, including the E Fork Bear Cr and W Fork Bear Cr, moving through the central and southern reaches. Significant landmarks like Lone Tree Gulch and the winding Wash-Out Cr provide specific reference points for those studying the physical geography and land-use patterns of central Wyoming. Modern access via Bolton Creek Rd and Spindle Top Rd connects this high-desert environment to the surrounding range.
