2012 Map of Sioux Pass

About this map

Sioux Pass and the nearby Devils Slide anchor this 2012 survey of Natrona County, depicting a landscape defined by its network of high-country drainage systems. The map traces the paths of Sioux Cr, Clear Cr, and Trout Cr as they cut through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of this part of Wyoming. Human presence is sparse, concentrated at the Welby Ranch in the southwest corner and along the Oakie Trl, which traverses the central portion of the quadrangle. This layout reflects the area's continued reliance on ranching and traditional trails into the 21st century. The map also records several other minor waterways including Lone Tree Cr and Bear Cr, providing a clear view of the local topography and water resources in the era just after the turn of the millennium.
