About this map

Sussex serves as the focal point of this Johnson County landscape, where the meandering course of the Powder River meets a network of vital water management features. The Sussex Irrigation Canal runs through the northern reaches, supporting agriculture in this semi-arid region. To the south, the topography grows increasingly complex, marked by prominent landmarks such as The Chimney and the dramatic relief of Chalk Butte.

Transport is defined by the Buffalo Sussex Cutoff Rd and Sussex Rd, which navigate a terrain carved by numerous dry washes and seasonal drainages. Genealogists and local historians can trace the naming of the land through features like Deadman Draw, Andrews Draw, and Rider Draw, which reveal the ranching and livestock history of this part of Wyoming. The southern section is dominated by Pine Ridge, providing a significant natural boundary near East Spring Draw.
