About this map

The town of Upton occupies the northwestern corner of this landscape, serving as a gateway to the sprawling pastures of eastern Wyoming. The settlement pattern is defined by a grid of local thoroughfares including Pine St and Poplar St, with the Greenwood Cem located just south of the main residential area. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of ephemeral drainages and flatlands, most notably Hopper Flat and the varied draws that carve through the high plains, such as Cox Draw and Bates Draw.

Large portions of the territory are integrated into the Thunder Basin National Grassland, where the land transitions from the heights of Pine Ridge and Snider Hill down to the creek beds of Pine Cr and Beaver Cr. The presence of many descriptive labels for localized topography and grazing infrastructure, such as Community Pasture Rd, reflects a landscape primarily dedicated to livestock and public land management in Weston County.
