2021 Map of Benton Basin SW

About this map

Pathfinder Reservoir defines the southern reach of this landscape in Natrona County, where the high plains meet the rising drainages of the Casper area. The topography is marked by significant erosion patterns, most notably Pino Draw, which channels toward the intricate systems of Horse Cr and Fish Cr. These waterways dictate the historical movement through the region, as evidenced by the alignment of Emigrant Trail Rd, reflecting the long-established routes across the Wyoming territory. The map reveals a remote ranching and transit landscape, where modern access through Co Rd 319 and Bishop Point Rd follows the same natural contours that guided earlier travelers. This survey provides a clear view of the section lines and township boundaries that partitioned the open range, illustrating how geographic features like creek bends were used to orient land claims in a sparsely populated basin.
