2017 Map of Madden

About this map

Madden sits near the crossing of the Fremont and Natrona County line, marking a point of human settlement in a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and drainage basins. This 2017 survey details the complex network of local roads that serve the area, including the pragmatically named Short Cut Rd, Brandau Rd, and Gun Barrel Rd. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of Alkali Creek and the deep cuts of Frenchie Draw and South Fork Frenchie Draw, illustrating the erosion patterns typical of this central Wyoming environment. To the south, Merriam-Meadows and the wetlands surrounding Poison Creek provide a distinct contrast to the higher, arid plateaus. The map also records the presence of resource extraction infrastructure, noted by Gravel Pit Rd, highlighting the ongoing industrial use of the land alongside traditional ranching and surveying boundaries.
