About this map

Clear Creek meanders through this portion of the Powder River Basin, defining the drainage patterns and land use along the Sheridan Co Johnson Co line. The landscape is marked by a network of essential water management features, including the Landeck Irrigation Reservoir and the Pratt and Ferris Ditch Number 1, reflecting the region's reliance on managed water for ranching and agriculture. The terrain is characterized by numerous draws, such as Sahara Draw and Maxted Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward the creek and its tributaries like Lone Tree Cr and Double Crossing Cr. Numerous small-scale water storage sites, including the Big Donaldson Reservoir, Van Noy Reservoir, and Henry Reservoir, are scattered across the townships, illustrating a localized system of water conservation in this arid environment.
