About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates the western portion of this Weston County terrain, where the high plains transition into a complex network of intermittent drainages and draws. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic patterns of Beaver Creek, Oil Creek, and their tributaries, including S Beaver Creek, Mush Creek, and Rough Creek. These waterways, often dry beds reflecting the arid environment of eastern Wyoming, carve a distinctive topography that has long influenced land use and movement in the region.

Transportation through this open range is anchored by Morrissey Rd, which provides the primary access route across the township and range boundaries. The map illustrates a traditional western grid system of sections and townships, including portions of T44N, T43N, and T42N, highlighting the historical public land survey system that organized this part of the state for grazing and resource extraction.
