2017 Map of Midwest

About this map

Midwest and Edgerton anchor this 2017 survey of the high plains north of Casper, where the drainage of Salt Cr has long shaped the local economy and settlement patterns. The landscape is characterized by a series of significant erosional features such as Coal Draw and Bothwell Draw, while several engineered water bodies including Midwest Number 1 Reservoir and Midwest Number 2 Reservoir indicate the industrial water needs of this arid region. The local street grid in Midwest is well-defined by thoroughfares like Castle St and Peake St, serving as a central hub for the surrounding oil and gas operations. Genealogists and local historians can trace the final resting places of early residents at Midwest Cem and Edgerton Cem, both situated near the primary settlements. The presence of Gas Plant Rd further underscores the area's ongoing reliance on natural resource extraction and industrial infrastructure.
