About this map

Fleetwood Reservoir and a series of smaller catchment basins define the water management strategy of this high plains landscape in Johnson County. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain carved by numerous drainage systems, including Stewart Draw, McCray Draw, and the eponymous Bear Draw. These features, alongside Coal Gulch, illustrate the complex erosion patterns and hydrological features of the region during the early 21st century.

Rural infrastructure is represented by a sparse network of thoroughfares such as Luddeck Rd, Town Rd, and Schoonover Rd, which navigate the various township and range boundaries. The presence of Golden Reservoir, Sandstone Reservoir, and Madonna Reservoir suggests the importance of water storage for agricultural or ranching activities in this arid environment. The map provides a precise look at the drainage into Flying E Cr, offering a detailed view of the local topography and resource distribution.
