About this map

Thompson Draw and the surrounding high plains of Converse County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and named depressions in this 2015 study. The landscape is dominated by the branching headwaters of Stinking Water Cr, including its northern fork, and the broad expanse of Allemand Flat. This topography illustrates the arid character of the region, where water management is dictated by features like Sand Cr and various named draws such as Friday Draw and Night Draw.

The presence of CR-31 provides the primary transit corridor through this section of the Wyoming interior. Surveyed under the Public Land Survey System, the map clearly delineates township boundaries including t39n r75w, providing a precise grid for land ownership and resource management. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the area's ongoing use for large-scale ranching or mineral interests typical of the northern Powder River Basin environment.
