About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape at the intersection of Converse and Niobrara counties. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, including the Cheyenne River and its namesake Wagonhound Cr, alongside significant family-named landmarks such as the Miller Hills.

Remote ranching infrastructure is evident through water management features like Dull Reservoir and Nachtman Reservoir, which provide critical resources in this arid region. The map traces the transition from primitive draws like Rattlesnake Draw and Piney Draw to established rural corridors like Dull Center Rd and N Lance Creek Rd, illustrating the spatial organization of Wyoming's livestock-driven economy in the early 21st century.
