2017 Map of Pratts Soda Lakes

About this map

Evansville anchors the southwest corner of this high-plains landscape, where the Casper area transitions into a grid of residential and ranch developments. The terrain is defined by its distinct alkali water bodies, most notably the Pratts Soda Lakes and the isolated Suicide Soda Lake. These basins sit amidst a complex network of modern road names that evoke Wyoming's frontier heritage, including Pony Express Dr, Wagon Train Way, and Bridger Trl. The survey captures a moment of suburban expansion into the high desert, evidenced by the proliferation of named streets like BB Brooks Blvd and Cowboy Way that carve through the open sections of t35n r78w and t34n r78w. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of traditional land survey divisions and contemporary residential planning in Natrona County.
