2017 Map of Brown Ranch

About this map

Brown Ranch sits at the heart of this high plains landscape in Johnson County, illustrating the enduring pastoral character of northern Wyoming. The drainage systems of Crazy Woman Cr and the various branches of Fourmile Creek, including N Fork Fourmile Cr and S Fork Fourmile Cr, dictate the movement of roads and the placement of remote ranching outposts. Local transit is defined by the winding paths of Irigaray Rd and Nine Mile Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Dry Gulch and Walker Draw. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent geography of the Powder River Basin, where land use remains closely tied to the seasonal flow of waterways like Trabing Dry Cr and the vast spans of the Public Land Survey System.
