About this map

Mc Kenzie Flat and the surrounding high plains of Natrona County characterize this mid-1980s landscape. This topographical study records a sparsely populated region defined by its ephemeral water sources and drainage patterns. The map detail highlights seasonal hydrology, from the collection point at Mud Lake to the various subterranean outlets such as Mud Spring and Sand Spring.

Surface drainage is dominated by the intermittent flows of Mc Kenzie Draw and Mc Kenzie Creek, which carve subtle paths through the terrain. The presence of Sand Springs and Sand Spring Creek indicates the critical importance of these isolated water points in a high-desert environment. This provisional edition preserves the precise locations of these features as they were field-checked in the late 1970s, serving as a reliable record of the area's natural landmarks before modern alterations.
