Salt Creek Corridor

The historic oil-country corridor stretching 40 miles north of Casper along WY-259 to the Salt Creek Oil Field — once the most productive field in the Rocky Mountains. Includes the twin oil towns of Midwest and Edgerton, which boomed in the 1920s with populations near 10,000 but have since declined to a few hundred residents each. Today this area offers extremely affordable housing and a quiet, rural Wyoming lifestyle for those who work in Casper or in the still-active energy sector.
