2017 Map of Sussex

About this map

Sussex sits at a geographic transition where the meandering Powder River cuts through the high plains of Johnson County. The settlement is anchored by the junction of Sussex Rd and the Buffalo Sussex Cutoff Rd, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and drainage networks. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, marked by prominent landmarks such as The Chimney and the elevated stretch of Pine Ridge. The landscape is defined by an intricate system of seasonal watercourses and draws, including Salt Cr and Fourmile Cr, which have carved distinctive features like Chalk Butte and Salt Creek V Draw. This 2017 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where wide-open spaces are segmented by township lines and traditional access routes through rugged canyons like West Carpenter Canyon.
