About this map

Lake De Smet dominates the northwestern landscape of this Johnson County region, defined by its peninsula at Seney Point and its intricate relationship with the local water management system. The map documents an area where natural drainages like Boxelder Cr and Rock Cr are supplemented by man-made engineering, including the Lake De Smet Canal, Moore Reservoir, and the Redman Ditch along Clear Creek.

Transportation and infrastructure are concentrated in the southwest, where the Johnson County Airport serves the area alongside a network of rural roads such as Reservoir Rd and M & M Ranch Rd. The eastern half of the quadrangle is marked by a series of named topographic depressions, or draws, including Murray Draw, Bond Draw, and Kumor Draw, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns typical of this Wyoming high plains environment.
