About this map

The confluence of the N Fork Powder River, Middle Fork Powder River, and S Fork Powder River defines this high-plains landscape in Johnson County. A sophisticated network of water management features, including the Sussex Irrigation Canal, Jarrard Ditch, and Vruwink Ditch, indicates the region's reliance on river-fed agriculture. These man-made channels snake through a terrain marked by dramatic relief, specifically Pine Ridge and Rock Ridge.

Local history is anchored by the Kaycee Cem in the northwest, while the presence of the Applegate Reservoir and N Jack Rabbit Reservoir highlights the necessity of water storage in this arid environment. The map also traces established rural routes like Sussex Rd and Coal Mine Rd, which connect remote draws such as Seventysix Draw and Jackrabbit Draw to the surrounding ranching and mining infrastructure.
