2015 Map of Ploessers Draw

About this map

Indian Creek Divide anchors the southeastern landscape of this Johnson County quadrangle, where the high ground separates numerous intermittent drainages. Water management is a central theme of this arid region, as evidenced by several localized storage sites such as Marton Reservoir, Green Reservoir, and Alexander Reservoir. The terrain is defined by a series of erosion features and basins, most notably the namesake Ploessers Draw and the extensive Ploessers Dry Lake. Transportation through this part of the Wyoming interior is facilitated by unpaved corridors like Schoonover Rd and Dry Creek Rd, which provide access to the remote township sections of T49N and T48N. The mapping of Indian-Cr Reservoir and smaller watercourses like Cat Cr reflects the critical importance of every water source in this ranching country.
