2021 Map of Twin Buttes

About this map

Bates Hole defines the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the drainage of Stinking Creek winds through complex topography toward the north. The area is characterized by prominent landforms such as Twin Buttes and Haystack Buttes, which serve as significant navigational markers in this part of Natrona County. Transportation in this high-plains environment is limited to utilitarian routes like the Bates Hole Stock Trl and Stinking Creek Rd, reflecting a landscape primarily dedicated to livestock movement and resource access. The hydrography is dominated by seasonal and perennial flows including Bates Cr and Lawn Creek, which carve distinct draws through the terrain. This 2021 survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid, documenting the township and range boundaries that have governed land division in the region for over a century.
