2017 Map of Cassa

About this map

Cassa sits at a strategic point along the North Platte River, serving as a central node in a landscape defined by water management and high plains drainage. The construction of the Glendo Reservoir has fundamentally reshaped the northern portion of this area, creating a shoreline marked by features like Sunset Point and a network of recreational paths including the Wetland Trail and Narrows Bluff Trail. Away from the main reservoir, the land is etched by numerous draws and canyons, such as Wendover Canyon and Sawmill Canyon, which channel seasonal runoff from prominent heights like Baldy Mtn. The presence of smaller impoundments like Hooley Reservoir and Twiford Reservoir suggests a continued reliance on local water storage for ranching or irrigation in this arid Wyoming environment, while Bulls Bend marks a significant meander in the river's course through the Platte County terrain.
