About this map

The South Fork Powder River flows through this ranching landscape in Johnson County, anchoring the water-dependent operations of the TTT Ranch. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals an intricate network of drainage systems and early water management infrastructure, including the Tisdale Ditch and King Res. The terrain is defined by its deep draws and seasonal watercourses such as North Sandy Draw, Murphy Creek, and Frewens Draw, which carve through the high plains.

Transportation in this area during the mid-century was limited to local access routes like Lone Bear Road and various unnamed roads and jeep trails. Industrial activity is marked by small-scale resource extraction, indicated by several claypits and scattered drill holes. These features, alongside isolated springs and flowing wells, provide a detailed record of how land was utilized for both livestock and mineral potential in this part of Wyoming.
