About this map

The Powder River carves a winding, serpentine path through this 2015 survey of Johnson County, defining the eastern edge of the landscape. This area is characterized by an intricate drainage system of gulches and draws that feed into the main river valley. Notable topographic features include the Somerville Flats and Somerville Draw in the southeast, while the upland areas are marked by several managed water sources like Sand Draw Reservoir, Raper Draw Reservoir, and Deep Reservoir.

Remote transportation is facilitated by Dry Creek Rd, which skirts the eastern bluffs overlooking the river. The map illustrates a high-desert terrain dominated by seasonal watercourses such as Flying E Cr, Dry Cr, and Barber Cr. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where the primary infrastructure focuses on water management and basic access across the many draws like Deer Gulch and Coal Gulch.
