2015 Map of Sheep Creek

About this map

Bates Hole defines the southwestern corner of this Natrona County landscape, marking a transition in a terrain carved by an intricate drainage system. The area is dominated by the winding course of Bates Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Corral Creek, Sheep Creek, and Kerfoot Creek. This 2015 survey reflects a high-plains environment where water sources like Indian Spring and the Mud Springs Draw are critical landmarks. Human presence is concentrated along the singular thoroughfare of Bates Creek Rd, which tracks the primary valley. The map provides a look at the land's administrative structure through its township and range divisions, showing how early 21st-century property and resource management overlay this complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways like Chalk Creek and Holin Creek.
