About this map

Negro Cr and Dry Cr carve through the high plains of Johnson County, defining the drainage patterns in this landscape of cattle-country infrastructure. The water-scarce environment is managed through features like Redman Ditch, reflecting the historic and ongoing importance of irrigation in the Wyoming interior. Navigating this terrain are several long-established rural routes including Red Hills Rd and Tipperary Rd, which cross the natural erosional features of Evans Draw and McNeese Draw. The sparse road network, featuring Tw Rd and Dry Creek Rd, illustrates the vast spacing between homesteads and ranching hubs in the early 21st century. This survey documents the intersection of topographic draws and the human-made grid of access roads essential for navigating the open range.
