About this map

Wild Horse Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape of Natrona County, marking a terrain defined by dramatic breaks and seasonal drainages. The S Fork Powder River cuts through the northern sections, while the southern portion is characterized by the complex topography of the Coalbank Hills and the namesake McRae Gap.

Remote ranching infrastructure is evident through features like Cow Camp Reservoir and Cow Camp Rd, which navigate the drainages of Landon Cr and Stone Cabin Cr. The map documents a sparsely populated region where geography is defined by natural passages like Hoff Gap and the water rights essential for high-plains land use. This 2017 U.S. Geological Survey record preserves the contemporary state of these named landmarks and the winding routes of Co Rd 212.
