About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this section of the high plains in Converse County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and draws. The geography is characterized by family-named landmarks and ranching infrastructure, such as the Fiddleback Ranch and Wagonhound Creek. Significant water features like Esau Spring and Tin Can Lake provide critical points of interest in this arid terrain.

Ephemeral watercourses including Tena Cr, Bobcat Cr, and Rat Cr carve through the land, alongside the prominent Miller Hills and distinctive formations like Split Hill and Pinnacle Rocks. Numerous trails, including the East Fork Loop Trl and West Fork Rattlesnake Draw, reveal a map geared toward land management and rural navigation within the Tbng boundaries, offering researchers a look at how this western ranching landscape is organized.
