2017 Map of The Horn

About this map

The Horn rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Johnson County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of water management and high-desert terrain. In this modern survey, the distribution of water is central to the area's utility, marked by the Willow Glen Reservoir in the north and the Horn Cr Reservoir in the south. Irrigation and livestock water sources are distributed throughout the draws and flats, including Frenchy Springs, Dancehall Spring, and the Red Spring. The southern portion of the map is defined by the N Fork Powder River, which flows near The Mesa and Cash Hill. Evidence of local ranching and land use is visible in the naming of topographic features like Charlie House Draw and Specimen Hill, along with the presence of the Horn Cr Ditch and Frances Ditch, reflecting the long-standing agricultural dependence on the creeks draining from the nearby mountains.
