2021 Map of Red Fork Powder River

About this map

Red Fork Powder River and Middle Fork Powder River converge in this high-plains landscape of Johnson County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages and ridges, including the prominent Harlan Ridge and the distinctively named Red Wall Number 1 and Red Wall Number 2. A network of early irrigation infrastructure, such as the Comstock Ditch, Keith Ditch, and David-Kinker Ditch, illustrates the historical effort to manage water for ranching in this arid environment. The map details various family-named and descriptive landmarks, from Gardner Mtn in the north to Starvation Draw and Peterson Draw further south. Modern access is marked by Barnum Rd, Brock Rd, and Red Canyon Rd, which navigate the draws and canyons that define the local geography.
