About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the high plains transition between the administrative borders of Crook and Weston counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and draws that have shaped the ranching and resource history of the region. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by several small impoundments such as Hagerman Reservoir, Arrowhead Reservoir, and Jeff Davis Reservoir.

The northern reaches of the quadrangle are characterized by a more complex topography of canyons and ridges, including Baker Canyon and Dark Canyon carved into the slopes of Little Pine Ridge. Family and local names are preserved in the road network and terrain features, with markers like James Prazma Rd, Fredrickson Draw, and Stevens Draw providing geographical ties for genealogists and local historians tracking early 21st-century land use and ownership patterns in this corner of Wyoming.
