2017 Map of Badwater NE

About this map

Okie Pasture dominates the central landscape of this Natrona County region, where the high plains transition into a network of drainage basins and trails. The map documents a complex hydraulic system including the Middle Fork Buffalo Creek and the southern flow of Badwater Creek. Historically significant routes like the Oakie Trail and Bighorn Trail intersect the terrain, following the natural contours of the land and providing access between remote creek crossings. The numerous named watercourses such as Little Deep Creek and Sawmill Creek indicate a landscape defined by seasonal flow and livestock grazing potential. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the enduring path of these upland trails and the established township and range boundaries that have organized this part of Wyoming for generations.
