About this map

Crenshaw Hill stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of Campbell County, overlooking a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Dead Horse Creek forks. The map reveals a high concentration of water management features essential for ranching and resource use in this arid environment, including Scott Dam, Lee Mankin Reservoir, and Dogtown Reservoir. These reservoirs are fed by numerous seasonal draws such as Johnson Draw and Upper Bushnell Draw, which carve through the terrain between low ridges.

Transportation in the early 21st century follows a network of local routes like Kingsbury Rd and Deer Run Rd, providing access to the various range lands and water points. The presence of named reservoirs like Alan Reservoir and Johnson Reservoir suggests a history of private and public land improvements. This topographical study captures the intersection of natural hydrology, seen in the Middle Prong Dead Horse Cr, and the human-engineered infrastructure required to sustain the region's economy.
