2021 Map of Clay Spur

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this portion of Weston County, where a complex network of ranching and utility roads crisscrosses the high plains. The small settlement of Clay Spur serves as a focal point near the southern edge, situated along Clayspur Rd and just north of Old US Hwy 16. This area is defined by its drainage systems and water management, with the Kellog Reservoir providing a vital resource in an arid landscape marked by seasonal draws and creeks. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Piney Ridge in the north to the distinctive Shale Hill in the southeast. Numerous trails, including the Kellog Trl and Sunquist Trl, suggest a landscape utilized for both local access and resource management, while several canyons like Bertha Canyon break the western horizon.
