2021 Map of House Creek

About this map

The Bozeman Trl cuts across the northern edge of this Johnson County landscape, marking the historic route used by emigrants and gold seekers in the nineteenth century. This arid Wyoming terrain is defined by a series of complex drainage systems, with House Cr and the various branches of Bullhacker Cr carving out deep draws across the high plains. The southwest corner is particularly detailed with named topographic features such as Pine Ridge and School Section Draw, suggesting a history of local land use and surveying. Modern accessibility is provided by Streeter Rd and Sussex Rd, which intersect near Frenchman Draw, while the Powder River just touches the northwestern corner. The placement of Carpenter Draw and other family-named landmarks provides valuable spatial context for local history researchers.
