About this map

The Petrified Forest Site highlights a unique geological pocket of Johnson County, situated among a network of drainages such as McNeese Draw and Healy Draw. This modern look at the high plains landscape reveals a sparse but deliberate network of ranch roads and specialized corridors like Camino Mines Rd and High Plains Rd. The water management of the region is evident through features like Redman Ditch, which cuts across the northern terrain to redirect the flow of the local creeks. Seasonal watercourses including Negro Cr and Dry Cr carve through the draws, defining the grazing and mineral exploration patterns that characterize this part of Wyoming's eastern foothills. The map documents a landscape where traditional land use and natural curiosities intersect along modern transit lines.
