2015 Map of Split Hill

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this section of the High Plains, characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and prominent landmarks. The terrain is defined by the Cow Creek Buttes in the north and the namesake Split Hill near the center, highlighting the transition between rolling grassland and more pronounced landforms like Cake Hill. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Lightning Cr and Walker Cr carving through the landscape alongside numerous draws, including John Henry Draw and North Fork Crooked Draw. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of Converse County where transportation is limited to established routes such as Walker Creek Rd and K-Field Rd, which facilitate movement through this expansive rangeland environment.
