About this map

Saddle Rock and Sagehen Hill rise above a complex network of drainages in this high-plains landscape of Natrona County. The drainage pattern is defined by the headwaters of Poison Spider Cr and the winding course of Cottonwood Cr, which shapes the central topography alongside its tributary, Little Cottonwood Cr. This area is characterized by significant erosional features such as Roberts Draw and Black Rock Draw, illustrating the arid-land hydrology of the region.

Human presence is sparse, with Dry Creek Rd providing the primary access through the southern reaches. The map details a transition from the lower elevations near Dry Cr and Chokecherry Cr to the more prominent heights of the northern sections. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of the Wyoming rangeland, where named landmarks often center on reliable water sources like Peach Cr and Soap Cr or distinctive geological formations that served as waypoints for early travelers and ranchers.
