2021 Map of Dry Fork Ranch

About this map

The Bozeman Trl cuts a historic north-south diagonal across this landscape of the High Plains, tracing a path through the rolling drainages of Johnson County. The Dry Fork Powder River serves as the central hydrological artery, fed by numerous seasonal watercourses including Beecher Draw and Tex Draw. This territory is defined by the ranching heritage of the American West, centered on the Dry Fork Ranch and several family-named canyons and creeks. To the east, the boundary between Johnson Co and Campbell Co marks the edge of the survey, where the terrain transitions toward Cedar Canyon and Fletcher Canyon. The complex network of ephemeral streams like Little Bullwhacker Creek and Seventeenmile Cr illustrates the intricate erosion patterns typical of this semi-arid region, providing a detailed look at the drainage systems essential to livestock operations in northern Wyoming.
