2017 Map of Mud Springs

About this map

Bates Hole defines the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the high plains of the Natrona and Carbon County line meet. This high-elevation terrain is marked by a network of ranching infrastructure and seasonal water sources. Travel through the area is guided by historic thoroughfares like the Old Casper Medicine Bow Hwy and the Bates Hole Stock Trl, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to livestock movement. Natural features like Mud Springs and Antelope Springs provide vital water points in an arid environment, while numerous small catchments such as the Chalk Hill Reservoirs and the Cronberg Pit Reservoir Number 1 indicate managed water resources for grazing. The topographical relief is punctuated by the prominent Moss Agate Ridge, which overlooks the drainage of Lone Tree Cr and Spring Cr.
