Terrain

Expect to see thousands of acres of rolling rangeland, long drainages that flow into Keyhole Reservoir and steep gullies and ridges.

  • Roughly 332 square miles

  • 17.7% public land

  • Elevations from 4,095-5,149 feet

Some crops can be found near creeks with most of the area covered in short buffalo or blue grama grass and sagebrush. A few cottonwoods and willows are next to the creek bottoms with ponderosa pine found on ridges.

This area can be hard for hunters trying to access public land and hunters should see Casper Regional Office for specific area information.

  • Most state and BLM land has no public access

  • Interstate 90, U.S. Highway 14 and D Road connect to a lot of county roads

  • Four-wheel-drive is recommended on all secondary roads

Check camping availability at Keyhole State Park. Sundance and Moorcroft have motels, restaurants and gas stations.
