Its elevation is 6,506 feet (1,983 m). Although Horse Creek is unincorporated, it has its own ZIP code of 82061. It had a post office until the early 2010s, when it closed due to an emergency operational issue. As of the 2010 census, Horse Creek had an estimated population of 39. Tony and Marian Schepp operated a general store, bar, and automobile garage in Horse Creek from 1948 until 1981. The bar, known as Schepp's Corner, was a gathering place for workers at the nearby Great Western Limestone Mine until it closed in 1978. Candace and David Kirkman of North Carolina bought the entire town in 1989; their purchase was inspired by Candace's childhood dream of moving to Wyoming. Public education in the community of Horse Creek is provided by Laramie County School District #1.
