2015 Map of Bear Mountain

About this map

Bear Mtn rises above the high-country landscape where the boundary of Natrona and Carbon counties meets in the southern Wyoming interior. This topographic study documents a drainage network defined by the headwaters of Bear Cr, including its West Fork and East Fork, which carve through the terrain alongside Bolton Cr. The water management of the area is highlighted by Cook Reservoir, a significant catchment in an otherwise arid expanse. Transportation is limited to rugged corridors such as Bolton Creek Rd and Stinking Creek Rd, indicating a landscape primarily used for ranching or resource management rather than dense settlement. The map captures the specialized geography of the northern Casper region, where the deep incisions of North Fork Canyon Creek and South Fork Canyon Creek dominate the southwestern reaches.
