About this map

The Johnson Co Natrona Co boundary line bisects this high plains landscape, where the prominent Red Wall escarpment defines the geological character of the region. This 1968 field-checked survey captures a remote ranching environment at the intersection of natural landmarks and essential local infrastructure. Education and aviation are represented by the isolated Willow Creek Sch and a nearby Landing Strip, illustrating the vast distances and logistical needs of central Wyoming life during the late 1960s.

Hydraulic features like The Flowing Well, Branch Reservoir, and numerous springs such as Hodge Spr and South Spring provide critical water sources for the area. The drainage network is complex, featuring Posey Creek and Cottonwood Creek winding through the terrain. Evidence of regional transportation and industry appears through the Thirtythree Mile Road and a recorded Drill Hole, suggesting early resource exploration within this rugged territory.
