About this map

Bates Hole defines the southwestern drainage of this Natrona County landscape, where the high ridges of Casper Mtn and Limestone Hill transition into a complex network of draws and creeks. This 2015 survey shows a terrain marked by intense topographical relief, centered on the historic Freeland Cem and the surrounding ranching country. The intricate hydrology of the area is represented by numerous seasonal and permanent waterways, including Big Red Cr, Little Red Cr, and the winding course of Bates Cr.

Remote roads such as Coal Mountain Rd and Bates Creek Rd provide access through the canyons, while the Schnoor Reservoir provides a vital water source in the lower elevations. The map traces the rugged descent from Coal Mtn through Jackson Canyon, illustrating the high-desert character of the Wyoming interior and the isolated landmarks that have guided generations of local travelers and land managers.
