About this map

Teapot Rock stands as the central landmark of this Natrona County landscape, overlooking a network of ephemeral drainages and ranching outposts. The terrain is defined by the winding courses of Teapot Cr and Horse Ranch Cr, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure like Teapot Ranch and Burke Ranch. This area reflects the dual economic drivers of Wyoming's high plains: traditional livestock ranching and energy extraction.

Energy development is represented by the Twentymile Hill Oil Field in the southeast, while water management is highlighted by the John Beaton Reservoir. Transportation corridors like the Old Salt Creek Hwy and Twentymile Hill Rd connect these remote sites, following the natural contours of the basin. The map provides a detailed view of how land use and water resources were organized in this part of the state during the early 21st century.
