2021 Map of Elk Basin SE

About this map

Powell and the expansive Powell Flats dominate this landscape, revealing a meticulously organized agricultural grid in the Bighorn Basin. The region's productivity is anchored by an intricate system of water management, visible through the Frannie Canal, Garland Canal, and various distribution channels such as Lateral B and Lateral C. This network transformed the arid plains beneath the looming Polecat Bench into a structured farming community. Within the town limits, the street plan is clearly delineated, centering around key local institutions like Northwest College and Powell Municipal Airport. To the south and east, the natural course of Bitter Cr meanders through the landscape, providing a sharp contrast to the straight-line irrigation ditches and roads like Barrows Rd and Henry Rd that define the local economy and settlement pattern.
