2012 Map of McCleary Reservoir

About this map

U C Ranch and C R I Ranch anchor the high plains landscape of Natrona County in this 2012 survey. The area is defined by a dendritic network of ephemeral drainage channels, including Henderson Cr, Austin Cr, and Horse Cr, which traverse the open terrain. Small-scale water management is evident at Luten Reservoir and the namesake McCleary Reservoir in the southeast corner. Transportation through this part of Wyoming relies on a handful of key routes, notably Forest Oil Rd and the significant Oregon Trail Rd, which runs east-west near the southern boundary. This map captures the persistent ranching character of the region, where family-named livestock operations and local reservoirs remain the primary landmarks across the expansive basin.
