2017 Map of Grass Creek

About this map

Grass Creek serves as the focal point of this High Plains landscape in Hot Springs County, situated within the broad Grass Creek Basin. The terrain is defined by a series of significant erosional features, most notably Coalmine Draw and Sand Draw, which indicate the area's geological and perhaps industrial history. Water is seasonal and sparse, with Gooseberry Cr and Grass Cr providing the primary drainage across the township lines. A network of ranching roads, including Dickie Ranch Rd and Lu Ranch Rd, connects the isolated settlements to the larger region. The map reveals a specialized landscape where human activity is tied closely to the land's natural draws and gulches, such as Spring Gulch, reflecting the enduring ranching and resource extraction patterns of this portion of Wyoming.
