About this map

Burlington serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Big Horn County, where the desert terrain of Emblem Bench meets the fertile valley created by an intricate irrigation system. The Greybull River meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle, feeding a complex network of waterways including the Tatman Canal, Bench Canal, and numerous laterals like the McNiven Lateral and Riley Lateral. These waterworks define the settlement patterns of the region, supporting the rural homesteads that line the county roads.

Local history is anchored by the Burlington Cem and Emblem Cem, while the rugged geography is marked by Table Mtn in the east. The presence of the Black Diamond Airport and a grid of residential streets including Boulder St and Main St indicate the town's role as a localized center for the surrounding ranching and farming operations. The map also traces smaller drainages such as Dry Cr and Willow Cr as they flow toward the main river valley.
