About this map

The N Platte River meanders through the central portion of this 2012 survey, shaping the development of the Casper area. Settlements like Paradise Valley and Mountain View define the suburban expansion southwest of the city core, while the historic Old Yellowstone Hwy traces a path through Vista West in the north. The landscape transition is evident where the structured grids of the residential developments meet the vast open draws and canyons of the Wyoming range.

Further south, the namesake Goose Egg settlement lies near the base of the foothills, surrounded by topographic features such as Jackson Canyon and Gotheberg Draw. The presence of the Squaw Creek Ranch and landmarks like Red Butte and Red Buttes Village highlights a land use pattern where livestock ranching and modern residential pockets coexist along the river's drainage network, including MacNales Cr and Casper Cr.
