2015 Map of Horse Creek Springs

About this map

Horse Creek Springs serves as a vital water source in this high-desert region of Natrona County, where the hydrology dictates the layout of the land. The drainage patterns of Soap Cr, Cabin Cr, and Austin Cr carve through a landscape defined by distinctive high-altitude landmarks. Notable topographic features such as Breadpan Hill and Vinegar Hill dominate the central terrain, while the aptly named Horse Heaven occupies the northeastern reaches. This 2015 survey illustrates the isolation of the territory, with Forest Oil Rd providing one of the few named corridors of access through the complex network of basins and gaps. To the west, Keester Basin and Black Gap further emphasize the varied relief that characterizes this section of the Wyoming range.
