About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Campbell County, where the topography transitions into the distinctive Rochelle Hills. The area is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage draws, including School Creek and Beckwith Creek, which carve through the arid terrain. Natural water sources like Hansen Spring and Red Spring are crucial landmarks in this ranching country, indicating the essential role of water rights and access in the region's development.

The presence of the Teckla Number 1 & 298 4 Reservoir in the southern portion of the map highlights local efforts to manage resources in the drainage basins of Piney Canyon and Sunny Draw. Navigated by Mackey Rd, this 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely populated but geographically complex section of Wyoming, where the township and range system partitions vast stretches of public and private grazing land.
