About this map

Saddlestring serves as a primary point of reference in this high-elevation landscape of Johnson County, where the plains meet the eastern slopes of the Bighorn National Forest. The map documents a complex network of water management and mountain drainage, featuring the Jim Crow Ditch and Mowry Basin Ditch which divert water through the lower elevations of Mowry Basin. The terrain is defined by dramatic changes in elevation, rising from the Red Canyon floor toward the summit of Stone Mountain.

Resource management and recreational access are visible through a series of named trails and roads like the HF Bar and Martini Loop. Historically significant drainage patterns are captured along French Creek and Middle Rock Creek, while interior landmarks such as Cow Camp and Bear Gulch indicate the area's use for seasonal grazing and wilderness navigation. The transition between private land and protected forest is clearly delineated across these foothills.
