About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Weston County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and draws defines the topography. The map illustrates a region managed for multiple uses, where the rolling surface is carved by numerous watercourses including Wildcat Cr, Black Thunder Cr, and the smaller Lion Cr. These creek systems are punctuated by prominent topographical features such as Darlington Draw and Fields Draw, which suggest the natural drainage patterns that have shaped ranching and land use in this part of Wyoming.

Human presence is marked by sparse but critical infrastructure, including Cellers Loop Rd and Field Rd. The underlying survey grid, shown through township and range boundaries like t43n r66w, reveals the systematic division of this expansive terrain. For those interested in the natural history of the Powder River Basin, this sheet provides a clear view of the intersection between public lands and the hydrological network of Horse Cr and Jones Draw.
