About this map

The Shoshone River carves through this northern Wyoming landscape, where the town of Byron stands as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural and industrial activity. A complex irrigation network is evident through the presence of the Sidon Canal and the Elk-Lovell Canal, which transformed this arid terrain into productive land. The map illustrates a clear division between the developed river valley and the open country to the north, defined by drainage features like Mantua Draw and Whistle Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest such as the Byron Cem and the settlement at Powell Flats. The area's industrial character is highlighted by Oilfield Rd and King Marathon Rd, indicating the importance of energy extraction alongside traditional ranching and farming. The western edge of the map follows the straight-line boundary separating Big Horn and Park Counties, cutting directly through the topographical transition of the Big Horn Basin.
