About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape along the border of Converse and Niobrara counties. The topography is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Cheyenne River and Wagonhound Creek, which flow through a network of named draws and hills. Land use in this arid region is reflected in the numerous reservoirs and catchments, such as Nachtman Reservoir and Dull Reservoir, critical for supporting local livestock and wildlife.

The presence of the Miller Hills and expansive public lands indicates a territory largely dedicated to ranching and conservation. A sparse network of secondary routes like Dull Center Rd and N Lance Creek Rd provide access through the grazing allotments of the Tbng. Notable topographic features like Rattlesnake Draw and Piney Draw demonstrate the intricate erosion patterns characteristic of the Wyoming basin.
