2017 Map of McCleary Reservoir

About this map

Emigrant Trail Rd cuts through the southeastern corner of this Natrona County landscape, following a historic path through a network of seasonal draws and creeks. This 2017 survey shows a terrain defined by high ridges and deep drainage systems like Burnt Wagon Draw and Piño Draw, which collect runoff for livestock and irrigation. Water management is a central theme of the area's development, evidenced by the McCleary Reservoir and Luten Reservoir. These man-made features are crucial for sustaining activity in this arid environment. The map also records distinctive local landmarks such as Horse Heaven, along with various watercourses including Henderson Cr, Austin Cr, and Meadow Cr. The layout of section lines and township boundaries like t32n r85w provides a clear framework for understanding the 21st-century land use and property divisions in this portion of the Wyoming high country.
