2015 Map of Morrisey

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape on the border of Weston and Niobrara counties. The settlement of Morrisey sits near the southeastern corner, positioned along a drainage system defined by Alkali Cr and Whitney Draw. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching and grazing environment where water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by the Sedgwick Reservoir and numerous ephemeral watercourses like Robbers Roost Cr. The road network is limited to primary corridors such as Cheyenne River Rd and Roxson Rd, which traverse the undulating terrain of Bum Draw and Coyote Cr. The map preserves the specific cattle-country topography and section lines of the Wyoming plains, capturing the spatial relationship between isolated settlements and the vast public lands of the national grassland.
