About this map

The settlement of Mayoworth sits at the junction of several high-plains waterways, serving as a focal point for this ranching and grazing landscape in Johnson County. Water management is a central theme of the area, as seen in the complex network of irrigation channels including Morgareidge Ditch, Capitola Ditch, and Roseberry Ditch that draw from the N Fork Powder River. These engineered features illustrate the importance of water rights and agricultural development in the arid Wyoming terrain, supporting homesteads like the one near Charlie House Draw.

To the south and west, the topography shifts from river bottomlands to significant peaks and passes. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Morgareidge Cem located north of the river, while landmarks such as E K Mtn, Gardner Mtn, and Dull Knife Pass define the horizon. The presence of the Smith Number 2 Reservoir and the canyon surroundings of Sackett Canyon show the varied elevation and natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this part of the Bighorn Mountains foothills.
