2017 Map of Cedar Draw

About this map

Raven Cr and its many tributary draws define the high plains drainage of Weston County, as shown in this 2017 U.S. Geological Survey topographic study. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including Cedar Draw, Butler Draw, and Buck Draw, which have carved deep paths through the terrain. A notable vertical landmark, Chalk Butte, rises in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a distinct geographic reference point in this corner of Wyoming. Human activity is represented primarily by a sparse network of rural routes such as N Raven Creek Rd and Four Horse Rd, which follow the contours of the land. This map provides a detailed view of the modern ranching landscape, illustrating how property and access remain tied to the natural water-shedding features like Buffalo Cr and Alkali Draw.
