About this map

Beartrap Meadows and the high-elevation landscape of Johnson County are the focus of this 2015 topographic study. The terrain is defined by its drainages and early ranching infrastructure, featuring a series of named water catchments including Seven Elk Reservoir, Simmon Reservoir, and Eychaner Reservoir. A network of unpaved roads, such as Rome Hill Rd and Hazelton Rd, provide access across the plateau.

Landmarks like Uncle Billys Flats and Big Spring suggest the importance of water and grazing in this region. The map captures the complex topography between Larramandy Draw and the various forks of Billy Cr, reflecting a landscape used for seasonal livestock management and recreation. This survey records the contemporary state of these uplands, noting the physical boundaries of various township and range divisions.
