About this map

Ayres Natural Bridge stands as a prominent geological landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Converse County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a series of significant elevations including Table Mtn, Tomahawk Peak, and Sheep Mtn, interspersed with a complex network of seasonal and perennial drainages. Water management is central to the area's geography, anchored by the La Prele Reservoir and the more remote Center Realty Reservoir Number 1.

Transport and navigation through this high-plains environment follow established routes like Cold Springs Rd and Wagon Hound Rd, crossing strategic points such as Hazenville Pass and Schofield Pass. The presence of features with familial names, such as Stinson Hill and Johnson Mailbox Hill, suggests a history of localized ranching and land use. Numerous draws like Whitaker Draw and Wilson Draw feed into larger creeks such as Wagon Hound Cr and Bed Tick Cr, illustrating the rugged hydraulic character of the region.
