1966 Map of Emblem SE

About this map

Emblem Bench dominates the southern landscape of this Big Horn County region, showing a sophisticated network of mid-century irrigation infrastructure designed to harness the arid terrain. The North Lateral Bench Canal and the Dry Creek Lateral Bench Canal trace the contours of the bench, essential for the agricultural viability of the area. This 1966 survey captures the transition from the rugged drainage of Little Dry Creek and Emblem Draw to the more orderly, managed water systems near the settlement margins.
