About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates the eastern landscape of this Campbell County quadrangle, where the high plains of Wyoming meet a complex network of ephemeral drainages. The area is defined by its ranching and resource roads, such as Hilight Rd and Keeline Rd, which traverse a terrain marked by distinctive landforms like Two Top. For local history and genealogy, the Kintz Cem provides a specific point of interest in the northern section, while the settlement at Four Points serves as a central landmark for this rural expanse.

Water management is a visible priority in this arid environment, evidenced by Isenberger Reservoir and Gumbo Lake. These catchments, along with the winding courses of Black Thunder Cr, Middle Fork Coal Cr, and W Fork Coal Cr, illustrate the hydrology of the High Plains. The map captures the grid of the Public Land Survey System, showing the township boundaries of T45N and T44N that have shaped land ownership and development in this part of Wyoming.
