About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this portion of Campbell County, Wyoming, revealing a landscape defined by its drainage systems and federal land management. The terrain is structured by the H A Divide, which separates the northern reaches of H A Cr from the southward flow of Little Thunder Cr and School Cr. The presence of named water sources like H A Spring and M W Spring points to the vital importance of reliable water in this semi-arid high plains environment.

Surface infrastructure is minimal, consisting of foundational routes such as Little Thunder Rd and School Creek Rd that provide access through the public grazing lands. The map also identifies specific drainages like Burning Coal Draw and Hansen Draw, which are characteristic of the region's erosional patterns. This survey provides a baseline for understanding contemporary land use and topography in the heart of Wyoming's energy and ranching country.
