Johnson Wash has stabilized and is more heavily vegetated today than in earlier times. Woody riparian vegetation has increased, as has pinyon and juniper in the distance. Willows, cottonwood, tamarisk, and Russian olive are the predominant riparian species. The road up Johnson Canyon has been widened and paved. Several new houses have been built.
