About this map

Bauer Ranch, Lybyer Ranch, and Allen Ranch anchor this high-plains landscape in Natrona County, where a sparse network of ranching outposts and gravel roads defines the local geography. The drainage systems of Badwater Cr and Sand Cr carve intricate patterns across the terrain, converging from several forks including the S Fork Badwater Cr and the S Fork Sand Cr. These ephemeral watercourses are vital landmarks in an arid environment, leading toward the Okie Reservoir in the western reaches of the quadrangle.

Industrial and transit activity is reflected in named corridors such as Lost Cabin Rd and Gas Plant Rd, which facilitate movement between these isolated ranching operations. The presence of smaller tributaries like Snyder Cr, Sioux Cr, and Cottonwood Cr underscores the importance of the watershed in an area where topographical features are often subtle and names are closely tied to the land's utility for livestock and resource extraction.
