2020 Map of Johnnie Creek

About this map

Johnnie Cr and Mizpah Cr carve through this section of Powder River County, where the high plains landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. This recent survey shows a sparsely populated ranching territory where local movement relies on a few critical connectors like Mizpah Rd, Hay Creek Rd, and Williams Lane Rd. The naming conventions of the watercourses, such as Double Corral Cr, Lost Soldier Cr, and Mud Spring Cr, suggest a history of frontier navigation and livestock management. This topographic study captures the contemporary drainage patterns of Alkali Cr and Hudson Cr, providing a clear view of the land's hydrology in a region where water sources dictated the layout of early holdings and transit routes.
