2015 Map of Little Alkali Creek

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates the northwestern corner of this territory in Niobrara County, where the high plains landscape is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages and named topographic landmarks. The Cheyenne River flows across the southern portion of the sheet, followed closely by Cheyenne River Rd, the primary artery through this sparsely populated ranching country. Local nomenclature reflects the area's frontier heritage and the practicalities of the landscape, seen in features like Rock Corral Draw and Bridle Bit Hill. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Alkali Cr, Little Alkali Cr, and Buck Camp Cr carving paths through the terrain. Notable local sites such as Hungry Hollow, Bum Draw, and the ominous Fatal Hollow provide specific points of interest for those tracing the history of local grazing lands and early Wyoming territory landmarks.
