About this map

Hazelton serves as the central focal point in this high-plains landscape of Johnson County, situated where the high-altitude terrain begins its drainage into a complex network of creeks. The irrigation infrastructure of the Hazelton Ditch reflects the historical and ongoing importance of water management in this arid region, diverting flow near the headwaters of the Middle Fork Crazy Woman Cr.

The map details a rugged transition from prominent elevations like Bald Hill to the various riparian corridors of Doyle Cr and Mattox Cr. Recreational sites such as the Lower Doyle Creek Campground and Bull Camp Park suggest the land's use for both seasonal grazing and outdoor tourism. A web of mountain routes, including Hazelton Rd and Billy Creek Rd, connects these isolated outposts across the drainages of Taylor Cr and Basco Cr.
