1968 Map of Cave Gulch Reservoir

About this map

Cottonwood Stock Trail winds through this arid section of Natrona County, tracing a historic path for livestock movement across a landscape defined by deep draws and high plateaus. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is dominated by the Cottonwood Rim to the north and the expansive Cactus Flat to the west. Water management is central to the human footprint here, evidenced by Cave Gulch Reservoir and Burke Reservoir, which capture runoff in an otherwise dry environment.
