About this map

Robinson Canyon and the surrounding high plains of Johnson County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and early 21st-century ranching operations. The Middle Fork Crazy Woman Cr flows eastward through the center of the sheet, supplemented by the Northside Ditch irrigation system. Significant historical landholdings including the Klondike Ranch and T A Ranch anchor the southern and eastern portions of the map, illustrating the enduring legacy of large-scale cattle ranching in the region.

Water management is central to this landscape, as evidenced by the Steffensen Number 2 Reservoir and Purdy Reservoir, alongside named water sources like Tetley Spring and Cole Spring. The topography transitions from the dramatic Red Gulch to the more gradual basins carved by Seventysix Cr and Beaver Cr. Access through this remote territory is maintained by a series of gravel and dirt routes, most notably Robinson Canyon Rd and the Cimarron Trl.
