About this map

Kimberly Reservoir sits near the head of a complex drainage system in this high-plains landscape of Johnson County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of draws that channel water toward Crazy Woman Cr, including Arpan Draw, Clay Draw, and Floate Draw. These features represent the characteristic erosional patterns of the Powder River Basin, where ephemeral streams have carved deep incisions into the earth over millennia.

Remote ranching infrastructure is evident through the presence of Thompson Creek Rd and Tipperary Rd, which provide access to family-named landmarks such as Bass Draw and Fleetwood Draw. The map also captures the vast Antelope Basin, illustrating the wide-open rangeland essential to the region's livestock heritage. This 2017 survey provides a detailed look at how water and topography dictate the movement of people and animals across this part of Wyoming.
