About this map

The North Platte River carves a winding path through this western Natrona County landscape, anchoring a transition from the urban fringes of Casper to the elevated terrain of Casper Mtn. The map highlights a series of suburban and residential developments such as Mountain View, Vista West, and Red Buttes Village that contrast with the open rangeland and water management infrastructure like Horsch Stockwater Reservoir and S P Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians will find significance in the Red Buttes Burial Ground and the distinct geographic markers of the Emigrant Gap Ridge. The southwest corner features the namesake Goose Egg and the river bend at Bessemer Bend, providing a clear view of the area's topographical character where the plains meet the mountain foothills. Notable draws such as Webb Draw and Sixmile Draw illustrate the drainage patterns essential to this high-desert environment.
