About this map

Saint Johns Cem sits on the high plains at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, overlooking the complex drainage network that feeds the Sappa Creek system. The terrain is defined by the sharp incisions of seasonal watercourses like Lambs Draw and Johnson Draw, which carve through the plateau toward the larger basins of the S Fork Sappa Cr and N Fork Sappa Cr. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural landscape structured by the Public Land Survey System, where a grid of section-line roads, including 500th Rd and 100th Rd, provides the primary framework for movement across the county line between Rawlins Co and Decatur Co. The sparse distribution of named features highlights the region's character as a dedicated agricultural and ranching interior, where water management and cemetery locations serve as the primary landmarks of human presence.
