About this map

Beartrap Meadows and the surrounding high-altitude drainage systems of Johnson County are the central focus of this 2017 survey. The landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and named geographic flats, including Uncle Billys Flats and the nearby Larramandy Draw. The area's water management is evidenced by the Simmon Reservoir and the presence of Big Spring, which feed into a complex network of tributaries such as Billy Cr, Beartrap Cr, and Sawmill Cr.

Access through this high country relies on a system of remote thoroughfares, most notably Hazelton Rd and Rome Hill Rd, which traverse the undulating terrain. The drainage of N Fork Otter Cr and Pass Cr further illustrate the watershed patterns of this region. This survey captures a moment in time for these public lands, emphasizing the intersection of natural hydrology and the persistent dirt road network used for land management and recreational access.
