2012 Map of Fredrick Draw

About this map

Crazy Woman Cr winds through this section of Johnson County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and high-plains drainage systems. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent erosional features, including McMillan Draw, Antelope Draw, and the namesake Fredrick Draw. Water management in this semi-arid environment is evidenced by several scattered catchments, such as Rattlesnake Number 1 Reservoir to the north and Sony Reservoir and Bass Reservoir to the east. These man-made features highlight the ranching and livestock heritage of the region, providing vital resources where natural flowing water like Double Crossing Cr and Dry Cr may be seasonal. Transportation across these draws is facilitated by a network of local routes, most notably Double Crossing Rd and Tipperary Rd, which cut through the open country.
