2017 Map of Badwater SE

About this map

Badwater Cr and its tributaries define the drainage patterns of this central Wyoming landscape within Natrona County. The terrain is etched by the seasonal flows of Dry Fork Badwater Cr, Willow Cr, and Sanchez Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region's high plains. Overland travel is documented through historic routes such as the Oakie Trl and E-K Trl, which navigate the topography alongside the more established Lost Cabin Rd in the southwestern corner. The map provides a precise view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, showing the intersection of Township 38 and 39 North with Ranges 87 and 88 West. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the sparse but vital water sources like Red Cr that have historically dictated land use and movement across these vast open spaces.
