About this map

Lone Mtn and Countryman Peak define the high points of this Natrona County landscape, where the high desert terrain is punctuated by intermittent water sources and dramatic topographic breaks. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, Sage Hen Springs feeds into Sage Hen Creek, a vital landmark for navigation and livestock in this arid environment.

Physical geography dictates the movement through the area, with features like Beef Gap and the bowl-like depression of Vice Pocket providing natural corridors and shelter points. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the enduring spatial layout of the Public Land Survey System, showing the township and range lines of the T30N R89W block that have governed Wyoming land ownership for generations.
