About this map

The N Fork Powder River carves a deep path through this portion of Johnson County, defining a landscape shaped by significant topographic relief and vital water sources. Named landmarks like Packsaddle Canyon and Horseshoe Canyon suggest the dramatic verticality of the terrain, while areas such as Dancehall Flats provide rare level ground.

Strategic water points are scattered throughout the region, including Charlie Brown Spring, Hammond Spring, and the Red Spring Reservoirs. These features, along with names like Snow Cave Ridge and Red Spring Hill, point to the land's utility for livestock and seasonal movement. Transportation is limited to rugged corridors like Mayoworth Rd, which navigates the high country between Pass Cr and Spring Run.
