2021 Map of Piney Canyon NE

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high-plains landscape where the Campbell and Weston County line divides the terrain. The map is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, notably Black Thunder Cr and Little Thunder Cr, which cut through the open country. Higher ground is marked by the H A Divide, a prominent ridge between the H A Cr and Little Mike Cr watersheds. Settlement is sparse, characterized by long-distance ranch roads and sections of the Public Land Survey System that organize the grassland into large tracts. Local movement across the basin relies on routes like Little Thunder Rd and Keeline Rd, which traverse the undulating topography and cross minor features such as Hansen Draw and Buzzard Cr. This 2021 survey provides a clear look at the contemporary land management boundaries and water-access points within this expansive federal grazing land.
