About this map

The North Platte River winds through the northwestern corner of this high-plains landscape, where the early energy industry left its mark on the Natrona County terrain. By the mid-20th century, extractive operations like the Spindle Top Oil Field and Bolton Creek Oil Field were already noted as inactive, reflecting a shift in the local economy. The area is defined by a series of drainages, including Stinking Creek and the branching system of Bolton Creek, which feed into the wider basin of Bates Hole. Transportation across these hills relied on a network of functional routes such as Top Spindle Road and an established Stock Trail, while isolated resources like the Bolton Artesian Well provided critical water access in a region primarily used for grazing and resource extraction.
