2017 Map of Garland

About this map

Irrigated agriculture in the Shoshone River valley defines this northern Wyoming landscape, where an intricate network of waterways like the Garland Canal and Frannie Canal transformed the arid terrain of the Big Horn Basin. The town of Powell anchors the southwest corner of the sheet, surrounded by the smaller settlements of Garland and Mantua. This 2017 survey illustrates how the grid of local roads, such as Desert Rd and Rd 7, follows the township and range lines established by early surveyors. To the north, the elevation rises toward Polecat Bench, while historical movement through the region is marked by the Jim Bridger Trl. Local heritage sites, including Crown Hill Cem and the Garland Cem, serve as important landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracking the families that settled this farming frontier.
