2017 Map of Stinking Water Creek

About this map

Stinking Water Creek and its many tributaries carve through this high-altitude landscape of central Wyoming, where the headwaters of Middle Fork Casper Creek and Poison Spider Creek originate. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological cuts such as Eagles Nest Canyon and Snider Basin, showing a complex system of draws and drainage patterns like McClanahan Draw and Rhobaugh Draw. A lone landmark, the Neil Bell Monument, stands near the intersection of various ranch roads in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Transport through this open range is maintained by a network of county roads including Co RD 211 and Powder River Road, which follow the natural contours of the high basins and creek beds. This map provides an essential record of the water sources and named landmarks vital to the livestock and land management history of Natrona County.
