1966 Map of Banjo Flats West

About this map

Upper Hanover Canal and Lower Hanover Canal dominate this landscape, illustrating the complex irrigation systems essential to agricultural life in Washakie County. The arid terrain of Banjo Flats and South Flat is carved by seasonal waterways like Nowater Creek and Sage Creek, which drain toward the prominent Bighorn River corridor in the west. This mid-1960s perspective captures a moment of transition, showing established infrastructure such as the Burlington Northern railroad alongside the growing Worland Municipal Airport. Aviation and communication landmarks, including a Radio Tower and Airway Beacon, stand as prominent features of the high desert. Local operations are evidenced by the Banjo Ranch and scattered utilities like a Pumping Sta and various reservoirs such as Sore Paw Reservoir.
