2021 Map of Darlington Draw East

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Weston County, illustrating the vast public land management systems of the American West. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage features, including Darlington Draw, Jones Draw, and Field Draw, which channel runoff toward more significant streams like Wildcat Creek and Black Thunder Creek. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the presence of the Field 9-207-5 Reservoir. The map reveals a sparsely populated region primarily utilized for grazing, with only a few secondary roads like Cellers Loop Rd providing access across the township and range boundaries. This survey is a detailed look at the hydrology of the grasslands, where creeks like Horse Creek and Lion Creek snake through the open territory.
