2012 Map of Garland

About this map

The irrigated basin of the Bighorn Basin comes into sharp focus through a dense network of water engineering features, including the Garland Canal, Frannie Canal, and Beaver Canal. These artificial waterways define the landscape near the small settlements of Garland and Mantua, supporting the agricultural productivity of the Powell Flats region. The mapping reveals a rigid grid of rural infrastructure, where numbered lanes and roads like Road 8 and Lane 7 intersect the historical path of the Jim Bridger Trl. Local landmarks such as Bakers Field Airport and Crown Hill Cemetery provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. Natural drainage persists alongside the canals, with Little Polecat Creek and Bitter Creek meandering through the structured farm plots, illustrating the complex management of water in this arid Wyoming environment.
