1954 Map of House Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Bozeman Trail cuts across the northeastern corner of this high plains landscape, following the path of the Dry Fork Powder River. This 1950s survey, updated in the early 1970s, documents a rugged section of Johnson County defined by complex drainage systems and the prominent elevation of Pine Ridge. The geography is characterized by numerous named draws, such as School Draw, Frenchman Draw, and Carpenter Draw, which feed into larger watercourses like House Creek and Bullwhacker Creek. In the northwest, the Powder River meanders through the terrain, its banks and surrounding bluffs providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the region before modern developments altered many Western landscapes. The map serves as a precise record of historical routes and natural landmarks in a sparsely populated ranching and transition area.
