2017 Map of Clay Spur

About this map

Clay Spur sits along the Clayspur Rd and Old US Hwy 16 corridor, representing a localized hub in the expansive high plains of northeastern Wyoming. Much of the surrounding territory is managed as part of the Thunder Basin National Grassland, a landscape defined by its network of intermittent drainages like Skull Cr, Turner Cr, and E Iron Cr. The terrain is marked by numerous draws and ridges, including Johnson Draw, Walcott Draw, and Sunquist Draw, which illustrate the complex erosion patterns of the basin. Local landmarks like Piney Ridge and Shale Hill rise above the basin floor, while water features like the Kellog Reservoir suggest the historical necessity of water management for livestock and land use in this arid region.
