2021 Map of Piney Creek

About this map

Piney Cr and its neighboring drainages define the landscape of this Converse County territory, where the high plains of eastern Wyoming are etched by a series of intermittent watercourses. The map documents a predominantly rural ranching area organized around natural landmarks such as Colter Draw and Box Cr in the north. Transport through these sections is limited to a few secondary thoroughfares, including Moore Rd and Co Rd 43, which navigate the terrain between significant creek beds. The drainage patterns of Lightning Cr, Walker Cr, and Willow Cr suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal hydrology, typical of the regional watershed before these waters eventually join larger river systems outside this quadrangle. This recent survey emphasizes the sparse, open character of the modern western range.
