Plate 476X. Johnson Canyon 1931 – 2004 Viewed southeast down the West Fork of Johnson Canyon. Johnson Wash has stabilized and is more heavily vegetated today than it was in the past. Wyoming big sage is the most abundant shrub, but some plants have died during the recent drought. Pinyon and juniper have increased. Rubber rabbitbrush, globe mallow, cheatgrass, and needle and thread are the other most common species.
