About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates the western half of this landscape, where the elevation rises toward Crazy Woman Mtn and Sisters Hill. This area of Johnson County is defined by a sophisticated system of high-plains water management, featuring numerous named irrigation channels such as Cook Ditch Number 9, Thompson and Mathews Ditch Number 35, and Watkins Ditch. These waterways support the livestock operations and agriculture centered around Klondike Ranch near the eastern foothills.

Deep canyons and ridges, including Gossett Canyon and Kingsbury Ridge, cut through the terrain between the mountain slopes and the lower plains. The drainage network is complex, with Little N Fork Crazy Woman Cr and Muddy Cr winding through the territory. Local infrastructure is represented by a series of reservoirs like Tass Reservoir and Patch Reservoir, which are vital for water storage in this arid environment.
