About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape along the border of Converse and Niobrara Counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems, including the North Fork Crooked Draw, John Henry Draw, and Lightning Cr. These watercourses carve through the arid topography, punctuated by prominent rises such as Cow Creek Buttes in the north and the namesake Split Hill to the south.

Remote and sparsely populated, the area is navigated via limited routes like K-Field Rd and Co Rd 43. The map reveals a landscape primarily dedicated to open range and resource land, where features like Coal Draw and Cake Hill serve as primary landmarks for navigation. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of Wyoming's eastern grasslands, preserved as public land for grazing and wildlife habitat.
