2012 Map of Mitchell Draw

About this map

Crazy Woman Cr and the Powder River wind through this corner of Johnson County, defining a landscape of deep drainage systems and water management. This 2012 survey illustrates the arid character of the region, where water resources are concentrated in features like the Henry Number 1 Reservoir. The intricate network of draws, many bearing family or descriptive names such as Mitchell Draw, Jewell Draw, and Keathley Draw, indicates a terrain shaped by seasonal runoff and long-standing grazing or ranching boundaries. Access across these dry washes is facilitated by routes like Upper Powder River Rd and Tipperary Rd, which follow the natural contours of the river valleys. The map provides a clear record of the rural infrastructure and named topographical points that have persisted into the 21st century, serving as a vital reference for understanding local land use and hydrology.
