2012 Map of Ice Cave Mountain

About this map

Ice Cave Mountain and the Deer Creek Range dominate this high-elevation landscape in Wyoming's Natrona County, where a complex network of drainage basins defines the terrain. The presence of Miles Cabin near the banks of Spruce Creek suggests the enduring history of high-country ranching or land management in this area. This topographic study reveals a rugged hydrologic system where northern-flowing waters like W Fork Deer Creek and Spring Creek contrast with the southern drainage of Bates Creek and its tributary, E Fork Bates Creek. The convergence of smaller streams such as Andys Creek, King Creek, and Kerfoot Creek underscores the map's focus on the vital water resources that sustain the high plains and mountainous surroundings.
