2017 Map of Flat Top Hill

About this map

Flat Top Hill rises as a prominent landmark within this high-desert landscape of Natrona County, defined by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and drainage basins. The area’s water management history is visible through features like Big Pike Reservoir, Willow Reservoir, and Irish Lake, which collect runoff in an otherwise arid environment. Drainages such as Hackett Cr, Alkali Cr, and Indian Cr carve through the terrain, leading toward the distinct elevation of the Cottonwood Rim at the southern edge. The distribution of Bar Spring and small catchment areas like McLaughlin Lake suggests a landscape shaped by the needs of livestock and regional hydrology. This survey provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, showing how land was partitioned across the high plains north of the North Platte River corridor.
