About this map

Chalk Butte stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this northeastern Wyoming landscape, overlooking a complex system of seasonal drainage channels. The terrain is defined by a series of named draws, including Buck Draw, Butler Draw, and the central Cedar Draw, which reveal the erosional patterns characteristic of the High Plains. These features, along with Coal Draw and Alkali Draw, suggest the local mineral and soil composition that has historically influenced land use in Weston County.

Watercourses such as Buffalo Cr and Raven Cr meander through the hills, providing the essential lifelines for this environment. Human presence is marked primarily by rural access routes like Four Horse Rd and N Raven Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. This survey provides a precise view of the region's physical geography, from its drainage basins to its high points, capturing the layout of the ranching and resource-rich territory.
