About this map

The North Platte River carves through the heart of this Wyoming landscape, defining the northern developed boundary of the city of Casper and its neighboring communities like Mills and Evansville. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward the steep slopes of Casper Mtn, where features like the Garden Creek Waterfall and the Staghorn Ridge Rd mark a transition from urban center to mountainous wilderness.

Historical transportation routes remain visible through modern development, most notably the Emigrant Trl skirting the northern edge of the river valley. The map documents the city's southward expansion into neighborhoods such as Thorndale Acres and Allendale, while preserving the locations of local landmarks like Casper College and Highland Cem. A series of water management sites, including the Sage Creek Reservoir and Katy Reservoir, highlight the irrigation and storage infrastructure essential to this high-desert environment.
