2018 Map of Dugout Creek South

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this expanse of Converse County, where the high plains landscape is defined by the ephemeral flow of the Dry Fork Cheyenne River. This 2018 survey illustrates the vast grazing lands managed by the forest service, characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and topographic depressions. Significant watercourses such as Dugout Creek carve through the terrain, while landmarks like Calamity Gulch and Willow Draw provide orientation in an area primarily accessible via unpaved routes like Co Rd 40. The map's detail focuses on the resource management boundaries of the Tbng, showing the township and range divisions that still govern land use and property rights across these public grasslands.
