2021 Map of Badwater NE

About this map

High-elevation drainages carve through the central Wyoming landscape in this 2021 study of the Natrona County highlands. This terrain is defined by the steep, winding headwaters of Little Deep Cr and Little Lost Cr, where the topography rises sharply across a series of ridges and draws. These seasonal watercourses reflect the arid, high-plains geography of the region, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have dictated land use and travel through this part of the state for generations. The lack of modern development emphasizes the persistent nature of the Wyoming backcountry, where the physical landscape remains the primary feature for those navigating the high country.
