2017 Map of Colter Draw

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Converse County, where a complex network of ephemeral drainages defines the geography. The terrain is characterized by deep erosional features like Colter Draw and the North Fork Crooked Draw, which illustrate the region's long-term hydrological patterns. In this part of eastern Wyoming, the drainage systems of Horse Cr and Bobcat Cr weave through sections of public and private land, reflecting the ranching and grazing heritage of the area. The map shows the intersection of several townships, including t37n r69w and t38n r68w, providing a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System. While mostly devoid of permanent settlements, the presence of Co RD 43 in the southeastern corner indicates the minimal but essential transportation network serving this expansive grassland environment.
