2021 Map of Lion Creek

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this portion of Weston County, where a network of seasonal watercourses defines the open high-plains landscape. The Cheyenne River winds through the central territory, joined by tributaries like Cottonwood Cr and Lion Cr. This area is characterized by large-scale public land management interspersed with private sections, a pattern reflected in the township and range boundaries of t42n r68w and t41n r67w. Transportation is facilitated by long-distance rural routes such as Rochelle Rd and Cheyenne River Rd, which serve the remote ranching and energy-producing interior. Near the southern edge, the Sherwin Field Number 1 Airport provides a critical aviation link for this sparsely populated region, while Underwood Draw and Keyton Cr mark the western drainages.
