2021 Map of John Hay Reservoir

About this map

Honeycomb Buttes dominate the northern landscape of this region, characterized by intricate contouring that defines the distinct terrain of the Great Divide Basin. The drainage patterns of Bear Cr and its tributary N Fork Bear Cr weave across the central and southern sections, eventually feeding into the Brannan Reservoir in the southeast. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse, high-desert environment where water management and natural topography are the primary visible features. The grid lines of t26n r99w and surrounding townships mark the systematic division of these public lands, highlighting a landscape primarily defined by its hydrography and geological formations rather than human settlement.
