2015 Map of Horse Peak

About this map

Bates Hole characterizes the high-desert topography of this region, where the high-altitude terrain of Horse Peak and Chalk Mtn rises above a network of seasonal drainages. This 2015 survey of the border between Natrona and Carbon Counties reveals a landscape managed for water in a semi-arid environment. The presence of Sand Draw Number Two Reservoir and Froehner Reservoir suggests the importance of water storage for local ranching or land management. This hydrological pattern is further defined by various creek systems, including Stinking Cr, Lawn Cr, and Elk Cr, which carve through the townships of the Casper region. The map provides a clear view of the section lines and township boundaries, such as t29n r81w, that dictate land ownership and use in this part of Wyoming.
