1961 Map of TTT Ranch

About this map

TTT Ranch and the surrounding ranching landscape of Johnson County are defined by a complex network of draws and creek beds that feed into the Powder River. This semi-arid terrain in the early 1960s shows a high degree of water management and industrial exploration, evidenced by the Tisdale Ditch irrigation system and scattered wells and drill holes. The confluence of the South Fork Powder River and Willow Creek serves as a focal point for the local geography, where a ford and a jeep trail indicate the limited but essential transport routes of the era. The presence of a Landing Strip and specialized features like a siphon reflect the practical adaptations required for large-scale livestock operations and resource extraction in this part of Wyoming, including several claypits located along Posey Creek.
