About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates the eastern landscape of this Campbell County quadrangle, where the high plains are carved by a network of drainage systems. The hydrologic character of the region is defined by the headwaters of several ephemeral streams, including the Middle Fork Coal Creek and Black Thunder Creek, which weave through the arid terrain. Notable topographic landmarks such as Two Top and Four Points rise above the surrounding sections, serving as distinct navigational markers in this open country.

Rural infrastructure is mapped through a series of named county roads like Hilight Road and Mills Road that follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. For those tracing local history or family ties, the Kintz Cemetery sits near Kintz Creek, providing a specific point of genealogical interest. The map also documents the transition between township boundaries such as t45n r71w and t45n r70w, reflecting the structured land management of the Wyoming frontier.
