2021 Map of Macken Draw

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape along the Campbell and Converse County border. The map reveals a land defined by its drainage systems, where seasonal watercourses like Macken Draw, Buck Draw, and Phillips Draw carve through the prairie towards larger tributaries such as Antelope Creek and Ninemile Cr. This modern survey illustrates the sparse human footprint on the Wyoming ranching country, centered around infrastructure like the Moore Ranch Airport and remote water management sites including Jenson Number 1 Reservoir. The intricate network of township and range lines, such as t40n r74w and t40n r73w, provides a precise grid for locating specific land parcels and historical ranching boundaries. Long stretches of Turner Crest Rd serve as the primary conduits through these grasslands, connecting isolated water sources like Sand Cr and Stinking Water Cr across the rolling topography.
