2015 Map of Coal Draw South

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Converse County, where the topography is defined by the significant Cheyenne River Divide. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation documents a semi-arid rangeland where water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by a network of catchments including Bear Cr Number 1 Reservoir, Antelope Reservoir, and Reynolds Reservoir. These features, along with intermittent drainages like Coal Draw and S Fork Bear Cr, reflect the vital hydrology required for livestock and wildlife in the Wyoming basin. The presence of Jenne Trail Rd provides the primary transit corridor through these open spaces, crossing significant terrain features such as Dilts Flat and the evocatively named Calamity Gulch. The map's detail provides a clear record of the section-line divisions and land management boundaries typical of the western United States rangeland.
