USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The settlement of Big Horn serves as the focal point for this landscape at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains in the late 1960s. The area is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Last Chance Ditch, East Side Ditch, and Sackett Ditch, which redirect water from Little Goose Creek and its tributaries to support local agriculture and ranching. These water rights were central to the development of early Sheridan County, seen here in namesake properties like the Meade Creek Ranch and the State Bird Farm.
