2012 Map of Natrona

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Mason County is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads and an extensive network of drainage improvements. Settlements like Allen and Natrona serve as focal points in a region where water management is critical for cultivation, evidenced by the prominent Waldmeier Ditch, Main Ditch, and Allens Grove Ditch that channel runoff through the prairie. Genealogists will find the rural Albright Cem near the intersection of Co Rd-3300 and Co Rd-2000, while the Bratt Cem sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. In the south, Norton Lake provides a rare natural water feature amidst a terrain dominated by surveyed roads like Winkel Rd and Wagonseller Rd. The map illustrates the 2012 state of this farming community, where small hamlets like Winkel persist as markers of local identity.
