About this map

The Salt Creek settlement and its surrounding high-plains terrain define this 2017 survey of Natrona County. This arid landscape is deeply etched by seasonal drainage systems, including the complex headwaters of Teapot Cr and the extensive winding path of Castle Cr with its S Fork Castle Cr. Prominent geological landmarks like the isolated Castle Rock rise above the network of draws and gulches, while the presence of Fensland Number 2 Reservoir highlights the necessity of water management in this dry region of Wyoming.

Industrial and transport history is reflected in the arterial routes crossing the quadrangle, notably the Old Salt Creek Hwy and Naval Rd. These corridors facilitate movement through a terrain defined by erosional features such as Brown Draw, Big Gulch, and Stove Gulch. The map meticulously details the section lines and township boundaries, such as t39n r79w, providing a precise spatial framework for land use and resource management in the heart of the Wyoming oil and gas fields.
