1959 Map of Horse Creek Springs

About this map

Rattlesnake Range dominates the high desert topography of Natrona County in this late 1950s survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and isolation, where the perennial waters of Horse Creek Springs and the flow of Horse Creek provide rare riparian points in a dry environment. The presence of an active Oil Field and several Oil Wells in the northeastern corner suggests the early industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in this region of Wyoming.
