About this map

The North Platte River carves a sweeping path through this Natrona County landscape, serving as a focal point for both natural terrain and suburban development. The western reaches of Casper are prominently featured, including established neighborhoods such as Paradise Valley and the industrial and residential hub of Mills. Further west, the map transitions into more specialized settlements like Red Buttes Village and the remote Goose Egg area, reflecting the expansion of the community along the river valley.

South of the river, the elevation rises sharply toward the northern face of Casper Mountain, where Jackson Canyon and various draws like Gotheberg Draw create a complex topographic profile. This area is dotted with vital water management features for the high plains, including the S P Reservoir and Horsch Stockwater Reservoir. To the north, the terrain is defined by the Emigrant Gap Ridge and a network of ephemeral drainages such as MacNales Cr and Sixmile Draw, illustrating the contrast between the fertile river bottom and the arid Wyoming uplands.
