2017 Map of Anderson Draw

About this map

S Fork Powder River carves a winding path through this central Wyoming landscape, where the high drainage divide of the Cottonwood Rim defines the northern horizon. This portion of Natrona County is characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and topographic depressions, including the prominent Anderson Draw and Ellis Draw to the northeast. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the utility of the high ground, with Divide Rd following the southern ridgeline above the headwaters of N Fork Casper Cr. The map illustrates a transitional drainage area where tributaries like Cottonwood Cr and Indian Cr begin their descent toward the larger river basins, revealing the underlying structural geology through intricate contouring of the high plains terrain.
