1979 Map of Red Fork Powder River

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Gardner Mountain and the prominent Red Wall escarpment dominate this landscape in Johnson County, where water management and ranching define the geography. The confluence of the Red Fork Powder River and the Middle Fork Powder River is the central hydrologic feature, supported by a network of irrigation infrastructure including the Comstock Ditch, Rinker Ditch, and Keith Ditch. These diversions illustrate the historical effort to harness mountain runoff for agriculture in an arid environment.
