About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Weston County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages shapes the topography. The terrain is defined by the namesake Darlington Draw and a series of creeks including Black Thunder Cr, Prairie Cr, and Little Thunder Cr. These watercourses create a dissected prairie environment that has historically supported ranching and grazing operations across eastern Wyoming.

Transportation through this sparsely populated region relies on a grid of rural routes such as Little Thunder Rd, Rochelle Rd, and Piney Creek Rd. The map illustrates the characteristic section lines of the public land survey system, showing how the vast grassland is partitioned. Small landmarks like Buzzard Cr and Rock Cr provide orientation points in an area where the primary human footprint is found in the dirt roads and boundary lines of the National Forest Service lands.
