About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this portion of Weston County, providing a clear picture of the high plains drainage systems in eastern Wyoming. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of intermittent waterways, including the upper reaches of Sheep Canyon Cr and the diverging branches of N Fork Fiddler Cr and W Fork Fiddler Cr. These creek beds and their surrounding topography reveal the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the region's semi-arid environment.

Rural infrastructure is represented by routes like Upton Fairview Rd and Jesse Rd, which provide access through the open range. Strategic water points such as Mud Springs were historically significant for livestock and wildlife in this expansive territory. The map also detail the township and range boundaries for T46N R66W and surrounding sections, tracing the headwaters of Mush Cr and Deep Cr as they move across the grassland.
