About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this portion of Weston County, where a high-plains landscape is defined by its seasonal drainage systems. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous ephemeral watercourses and draws that direct the flow of the land towards the larger creek systems. These include the prominent S Fork Lone Tree Cr and Louse Cr in the northern reaches, while Dupont Cr winds through the central area.

Evidence of local land use is primarily reflected in the sparse road network and topographic naming. Features like Statler Draw, Newton Draw, and Finn Draw suggest a landscape where water management and topography were critical for early ranching or homesteading efforts. Modern access is facilitated by rural routes such as Grieves Rd and Elliott Rd, which cross the township and range boundaries that still organize this expansive Wyoming interior.
