About this map

The Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates the southern landscape of this portion of Campbell County, where public lands are segmented into various blocks designated as Tbng. This section of northeast Wyoming is defined by a dendritic drainage network that feeds the Little Powder River, which meanders through the western half of the map. The terrain is characterized by numerous draws and coulees, most notably Tuttle Draw and Prairie Dog Draw, illustrating the erosional patterns common to this high plains environment.

Water management in this arid region is visible through features like the Mary Reservoir, while the industrial footprint of the energy sector is marked by the presence of Oil Well Rd and Oil Field Rd. These routes, along with Rocky Point Rd, provide the primary access through the undulating country between Bell Cr and Antelope Cr. The map captures a moment in the 21st century where traditional grazing lands and the modern oil industry overlap within the national grassland boundaries.
