2015 Map of Brown Ranch

About this map

Brown Ranch serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of Johnson County, where the drainage patterns of the Powder River Basin define the local geography. The area is characterized by a series of intermittent watercourses and draws, including Crazy Woman Cr in the northwest and the winding paths of N Fork Fourmile Cr and S Fork Fourmile Cr to the south. This ranching country relies on water management features like the Murphy Reservoir to sustain operations in an arid environment. Transportation through the townships is limited to established routes such as Nine Mile Rd and Irigaray Rd, which cut across the geometric grid of the Public Land Survey System. The terrain is further detailed by named features like Walker Draw and Dry Gulch, illustrating the erosional character of the Wyoming landscape.
