1972 Map of Ploessers Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Schoonover Divide Road traverses the high ground of Johnson County, providing a glimpse into the isolated ranching and water-management systems of the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by a series of north-draining ephemeral channels, most notably Ploessers Draw and Indian Creek Draw. Human activity in this arid basin is concentrated around water catchments like Indian Creek Reservoir, Green Reservoir, and Alexander Reservoir, which support the operations of the Indian Creek Ranch. A significant industrial corridor is marked by a Pipeline cutting through the center of the sheet. The prevalence of these man-made reservoirs alongside natural features like Ploessers Dry Lake underscores the vital role of water infrastructure in sustaining this portion of the Missouri River Basin during the late twentieth century.
