About this map

Neil Bell Monument stands as a lonely marker in this high-plains landscape of Natrona County, where the drainage networks of the Middle Fork Casper Cr and Stinking Water Cr converge. The area is defined by its wide basins and named draws, such as Snider Basin and Rhobaugh Draw, reflecting a topography carved by intermittent watercourses like Poison Spider Cr and Wallace Cr.

Isolated ranching outposts including Sun Ranch, Forgery Ranch, and Oil City Ranch indicate a sparse, rural settlement pattern typical of the Wyoming interior. These headquarters are connected by a network of secondary routes including Natrona Co 211 and Poison Spider Rd. To the south, the terrain becomes more defined at Eagles Nest Canyon, while the northern reaches are dominated by the headwaters of the S Fork Casper Cr.
