About this map

Powder River meanders through this portion of Johnson County, carving a complex network of draws and seasonal creek beds across the high plains. The map centers on the namesake Hoe Ranch, a notable landmark in a landscape defined by ranching operations and remote drainage systems. Water management is evident through features like the Reculusa Reservoir and Hoe Spring, which support livestock in this arid environment.

Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with Falka Rd, Irigaray Rd, and Lower Sussex Rd providing the primary access through the broken terrain. Named geographic markers such as School Section Draw, Windmill Draw, and Phinney Draw offer essential navigation points for land management and genealogy researchers tracing historical land use in this specific section of the Wyoming range.
