About this map

Fraker Mtn and the surrounding high country of Johnson County dominate this landscape, where the headwaters of the Red Fork Powder River carve through the eastern slopes of the Bighorn Mountains. The drainage network is dense with named springs and creeks, including Trough Spring, Cottonwood Cr, and Beartrap Cr, which provided critical water sources in this arid ranching environment.

Evidence of the area's geological and topographic complexity is seen in features like The Crevasses and The Slip, alongside prominent landmarks such as Gardner Mtn and Snow Cave Ridge. Human passage through the terrain is marked by remote tracks like Slip Rd and Between the Creeks Rd, which navigate between the high points of Lookout Ridge and V Ridge, illustrating the long-standing routes used by local landowners and hunters.
