About this map

Casper Mountain dominates this mid-century survey of the high country south of Casper, where the landscape transitions from steep slopes to the broad reaches of Muddy Mountain. The area is characterized by seasonal camps and early recreational development, including the Hogadon Basin Ski Area and Casper Mountain County Park. For the local historian, the map preserves the location of Eadsville, a former settlement site near Asbestos Spr, and several organized camps such as Camp Sacajawea and Casper Lions Camp.

Transportation through this rugged terrain follows established routes like the Old Casper Medicine Bow Road and Circle Drive. The hydrology is defined by the headwaters of Garden Creek and the long drainages of Muddy Creek and Clear Fork Muddy Creek, which carve deep valleys through the timbered highlands. Notable landmarks include the Crimson Dawn area and a solitary Grave located north of Beartrap Meadow.
