About this map

The Shoshone River flows through the northern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, where human engineering meets the arid terrain of the Big Horn Basin. Irrigation infrastructure is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Sidon Canal and Elk Lovell Canal branching off the river to support local agriculture. The historical Bridger Trail cuts across the southwestern portion of the sheet, providing a tangible link to 19th-century overland travel routes used by emigrants and gold seekers. Near the confluence of Whistle Creek and the river valley, the Penrose Cem serves as a quiet marker of early settlement along the Park and Big Horn County line. The map also detail local drainage patterns through Coon Creek and Grass Creek, alongside industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and a Gaging Sta on the river.
