About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this portion of Weston County, where a network of ephemeral creeks and reservoirs defines the arid landscape. The map captures the complex administrative boundaries of the national grassland, interspersed with private and state lands. Major drainage systems like Sheep Canyon Cr and Beaver Cr flow eastward, carving subtle topography into the high plains.

A sparse network of rural routes, including Jesse Rd and Oil City Rd, provides the primary access to this ranching and energy-producing region. The presence of Minter Reservoir in the northwest suggests the importance of water management for livestock and wildlife in this open country. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range system near the junction of T45N and T46N, marking out the section lines that historically governed land settlement in the Wyoming basin.
