2021 Map of Chalk Buttes

About this map

The North Platte River winds through this Converse County landscape, anchoring a region where high-plains topography meets the outskirts of Douglas. Near the river, the Eastern Wyoming College Douglas Campus and Douglas Hot Springs mark the transition from the city's street grid into the surrounding range. Significant terrain features such as the Chalk Buttes and Sheep Mtn rise above the drainage basins of Bed Tick Cr and Wagon Hound Cr. The map captures a mix of established rural infrastructure and modern residential developments like those near the Chalk Buttes Reservoir. This modern survey illustrates how local transportation routes, including Cold Springs Rd and Wagon Hound Rd, follow the natural contours of the draws and ridges that have historically defined movement through this part of Wyoming.
