About this map

The high plains of Natrona County center on the small settlement of Arminto, a remote outpost where the sagebrush landscape is punctuated by vital water catchments and historic ranching routes. Water management defines the terrain, visible through features like the Jackpot Reservoir in the northeast and Garrison Reservoir along Garrison Draw to the southwest. These scattered reservoirs, including the Bad Water Cr Reservoir, serve as critical infrastructure in a dry environment etched by seasonal drainages such as Red Cr and Alkali Cr.

Regional connectivity is maintained by a network of unpaved roads, including Lost Cabin Rd and Buffalo Creek Rd, which trace the path of earlier frontier movement. For those researching local heritage, the Arminto Cem provides a specific point of genealogical interest. The map documents a period when these traditional rangelands remained focused on cattle and transit, prior to significant industrial or modern residential shifts.
