About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland encompasses this portion of the high plains in eastern Wyoming, characterized by a complex drainage network that defines the local topography. Water sources are primarily intermittent, including Timber Cr, Beaver Cr, and Rough Cr, which carve through the arid terrain. The landscape is marked by distinctive geological features such as Alkali Butte and numerous named draws, including Coyote Draw and Finn Draw.

The Public Land Survey System grid remains the primary orienting structure across this open country, with the intersections of several townships such as t43n r63w and t42n r64w mapped in detail. For researchers of the American West, this 2015 survey illustrates how traditional rangeland is managed within federal grassland boundaries, preserving the hydrologic identity of smaller tributaries like Louse Cr and Alkali Cr.
