About this map

Redman Ditch and a complex network of ephemeral watercourses define this high-plains landscape in Johnson County. Surveyed at the start of the 1970s, the terrain is shaped by several named drainages including Healy Draw, Mc Neese Draw, and Negro Creek, which flow toward the more prominent Dry Creek. The area appears largely dedicated to ranching and resource extraction, characterized by numerous water points like the Stockrest Well and various wells scattered across the township sections.

Industry and local utility are marked by a Gravel Pit and an isolated Prospect in the northern hills. Evidence of infrastructure is seen at BR 4647 and BR 4602, crossings that facilitate movement through this cattle country. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are carved by the Hakert Draw and its East Prong, illustrating the intricate erosion patterns of the Wyoming basin floor during this era.
