2021 Map of Horse Creek Springs

About this map

Horse Creek Springs serves as a focal point in this high-elevation landscape of central Wyoming, where the drainage of Horse Cr carves through the local topography. The area is defined by its distinct landforms, ranging from the depressions of Keester Basin to prominent rises like Breadpan Hill and Vinegar Hill. The map illustrates a network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Soap Cr, Cabin Cr, and Austin Cr that navigate the varied elevations. Human infrastructure is sparse, represented primarily by the alignment of Co RD 320 in the northeastern corner. The naming of features like Horse Heaven and Black Gap reflects a local nomenclature tied to the terrain's usability for livestock and passage, providing a detailed record of the Natrona County ranching environment in the early twenty-first century.
