About this map

Bishop and the surrounding high plains of Natrona County are defined by a mix of aviation infrastructure and the sparse drainage of Casper Cr. The southern portion of the landscape is dominated by the sprawling Casper/Natrona County International Airport, where a network of industrial and transport-related streets like Airport Pkwy and Commerce Dr intersect. Residential growth is concentrated at Air Base Acres, a community situated near the historic path of the Old Yellowstone Hwy.

The northern reaches of the area transition into open range, marked by the winding courses of S Fork Casper Cr and Sixmile Draw. Long-established thoroughfares such as Nine Mile Rd and Lockner Rd cut across the township lines, while irrigation features like the N Johnson Lateral indicate the managed water resources essential for this arid environment. Roads named for local resources, including Uranium Rd and Coal Rd, point to the region's historical ties to Wyoming's energy and mining sectors.
