About this map

The North Platte River carves through the northern reaches of this Natrona County landscape, anchoring a corridor of development that includes Evansville, Brookhurst, and Strouds. This 2017 survey captures the eastern periphery of Casper as residential streets and industrial tracts push into the high desert drainage basins. South of the river, the terrain rises steadily toward the massive bulk of Casper Mtn, where the elevation lines tighten significantly compared to the broad flats near Jones Draw.

Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by several named catchments like Wagner and Bayer Reservoir and Steed Reservoir situated among the draws. Local history is traced through a network of thoroughfares ranging from the Old Glenrock Hwy and Wagon Trail Rd to the more contemporary Interstate corridor. The eastern edge is defined by the distinctive Hat Six Hogback, a prominent geological feature overlooking the convergence of Goose Cr and Dry Muddy Cr.
