2012 Map of Gaylord Reservoir

About this map

Ranching outposts and drainage basins define this portion of Natrona County, where established homesteads like Davidson Ranch, Wyatt Ranch, and Morton Ranch remain the primary human landmarks. The landscape is shaped by the winding courses of Middle Fork Casper Cr, Coyote Cr, and Wallace Cr, which carve through the open plains and hills. Movement through this expanse is centered on Powder River Rd, a vital north-south artery connecting these isolated properties. This 2012 survey documents a contemporary view of the high plains, illustrating the persistence of large-scale land holdings and the reliance on seasonal watercourses in a region where the geography of the range still dictates the pattern of life.
