About this map

Crazy Woman Creek winds through the eastern portion of this Wyoming landscape, defining a valley floor punctuated by irrigation infrastructure like the Northside Ditch. In the late 1960s, this area of Johnson County was characterized by its intricate drainage systems and high-country landmarks, including the deeply carved Robinson Canyon and its Middle Fork. The mapping of fine red dashed lines to indicate selected fence lines suggests a territory organized around ranching and livestock management, where water sources like Tetley Spring and Cole Spring were vital assets.

Transportation is dominated by rugged routes such as Greub Road and various unnamed Jeep Trails, which provide access to more remote locations like Poison Gulch and Malley Draw. Evidence of mineral exploration appears near the southern reaches of Beaver Creek, where several Prospects are marked. The presence of a Gaging Sta along the creek further emphasizes the importance of water management in this high-plains environment.
