2021 Map of Grass Creek

About this map

Grass Creek serves as a central point of reference in this Wyoming landscape, situated within the Grass Creek Basin. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages and draws that reflect the industrial and ranching history of Hot Springs County. Names like Coalmine Draw and Spring Gulch suggest the resource extraction and water access that dictated settlement patterns in the region. The road network, including Dickie Ranch Rd and Lu Ranch Rd, points to the established presence of large-scale ranching operations that have long shaped the local economy. Water management is evident through the winding paths of Gooseberry Cr and Grass Cr, which provide vital irrigation in an otherwise arid environment. This topographical study captures the intersection of natural features and human land use in a region where geography remains a primary driver of industry.
