About this map

High-altitude basins and prominent peaks define this portion of Natrona County, where the topography transitions through several named mountain passes. Barlow Gap and Crilly Gap serve as key navigational points between the upland terrain of Bald Mtn and Goat Mtn. The landscape is etched by intermittent drainage features such as Barlow Springs Draw and Greasewood Draw, which reflect the arid character of the region.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is centered on Dry Creek Rd, which winds through the northwestern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. Water sources, vital for livestock and early travelers in this Wyoming interior, are localized at Barlow Springs and the seasonally variable The Dry Lake. The map details a complex network of sections and township lines, including t32n r88w and t31n r87w, which provide a precise framework for locating family ranching claims and land patents in this part of the state.
