About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates the northwestern corner of this Wyoming landscape, where the high plains of Campbell and Crook Counties meet. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by complex drainage systems and erosion-carved landmarks, including Flag Butte and Flatiron Butte. The topography is particularly intricate at the Mitchell Creek Breaks, where the land drops away into seasonal watercourses.

A sparse network of unpaved tracks, such as Deadman Rd and Cabin Creek and Morse Rd, provides the primary access across these ranchlands and public grazing territories. Names like Mule Herder Draw, Coyote Draw, and Wolf Draw speak to the region's livestock and wildlife history. Water management is evident at the Enlargement Jesse Reservoir, while numerous creeks including Short Prong Prairie Cr and Flag Butte Cr carve the cattle country.
