2017 Map of Lion Creek

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Weston County, Wyoming, where a complex network of public and private lands defines the local geography. The territory is carved by numerous seasonal drainages including Lion Creek, Horse Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, all feeding toward the Cheyenne River which flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Human activity is marked by a grid of ranch roads and specialized sites like the Sherwin Field Number 1 Airport near the riverbank. The terrain is characterized by named landforms such as Underwood Draw, illustrating the subtle yet significant relief that dictates the flow of Frog Creek and other local waterways across this expansive grassland environment.
