About this map

Neil Bell Monument stands as a lonely landmark within this high-elevation terrain of Natrona County, where the headwaters of several significant drainages converge. The landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including Stinking Water Cr and the Middle Fork Casper Cr, which carve deep erosional features like McClanahan Draw and Rhobaugh Draw. To the southwest, the topography drops into the Snider Basin, while Eagles Nest Canyon marks the rugged descent toward the southeast.

Powder River Rd provides the primary transit corridor through this remote ranching and grazing land. The drainage patterns of Poison Spider Cr and Wallace Cr illustrate the arid nature of the region, where water management and topographical navigation were essential for early settlers and modern land users alike. This survey provides a precise record of the public land survey system grid across these high plains just before the mid-2010s.
