About this map

The Bighorn River corridor defines the western edge of this landscape, supporting a complex network of agricultural infrastructure in the arid Wyoming basin. The extensive system of the Big Horn Canal, Upper Hanover Canal, and Lower Hanover Canal demonstrates the intensive irrigation efforts required to support ranching and farming in the region. These waterways snake through the terrain, separating the productive lowlands like South Flat from the higher, drier expanses of Banjo Flats to the east.

Worland serves as the regional hub, with its urban footprint and the Worland Municipal Airport providing a modern contrast to the surrounding draws and gulches. Beyond the irrigated zones, the map reveals a rugged drainage system including Nowater Cr, Wildcat Gulch, and Pistol Draw. Small water management features such as Sore Paw Reservoir and Slab Trail Reservoir are scattered across the interior, highlighting the ongoing importance of water collection in this environment.
