2021 Map of Clareton

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this portion of Weston County, where the high plains landscape is defined by a sparse network of seasonal drainages and ranch roads. The map reveals a distinctive pattern of land use where large tracts of public grassland are interlaced with private holdings, marked by the courses of Lodgepole Cr and Wildcat Cr. The road network, including Darlington Rd and Bruce Rd, follows the section lines typical of the Public Land Survey System, providing access to the isolated draws and ridges. Local topography is further detailed by named features like Field Draw and Newton Draw, which serve as crucial landmarks in this open grazing country. The presence of Deep Cr and Hay Cr in the northern reaches highlights the critical role of water management in the arid environment of northeastern Wyoming.
