About this map

Casper Mountain dominates the northern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, providing a high-altitude anchor for the surrounding Natrona County terrain. The survey details a network of residential and recreational roads winding through the forest, including Strube Loop and Tower Loop within Casper Mountain County Park. To the east, the eponymous Crimson Dawn area sits north of the high peaks, while the southern half of the map transitions into the more remote reaches of Muddy Mtn.

The complex hydrology of the mountain is evidenced by numerous drainages such as Garden Creek, Elkhorn Creek, and the Clear Fork Muddy Creek. Notable landmarks for local history include Asbestos Spring and the passage through Rocky Gap at the southern edge. The map captures the interface between the developed mountain roads and the steeper, drainage-carved slopes of the Laramie Range foothills south of Casper.
