About this map

The Powder River carves a winding path through this portion of Johnson County, defining a landscape of complex drainage systems and high divides. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep draws that feed into the river valley, including Mitchell Draw and Kinney Draw, which flank the prominent Kinney Divide. Water management in this semi-arid region is evident through the presence of several small impoundments, such as Henry Number 1 Reservoir, Mitchell Draw Reservoir, and Henry Reservoir.

Upland areas are traversed by Tipperary Rd, providing the primary access through the dissected topography. The map reveals the intricate natural plumbing of the High Plains, where seasonal watercourses like Crazy Woman Cr and named features such as Coal Draw and Keathley Draw highlight the erosional patterns of the watershed. This 2015 data reflects the modern rural character of the area, where public land surveys and ranching infrastructure coexist with the natural bend of the river.
