2021 Map of Mitchell Draw

About this map

Crazy Woman Cr and the Powder River define the intricate drainage network of this Johnson County landscape. The terrain is a complex series of ridges and valleys, with the Kinney Divide acting as a prominent high point between major watersheds. Local water management is represented by the Henry Number 1 Reservoir, a critical resource in this arid environment. The naming conventions of the various draws, such as Mitchell Draw, Nurse Draw, and Jewell Draw, likely reflect the family names of early ranchers and homesteaders who established themselves along these seasonal watercourses.
