About this map

The agricultural landscape of Powell Flats is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, dominated by the Shoshone River and the Elk Lovell Canal. As of 2017, this region in Park County shows the transition from the city of Powell in the northwest to the more varied terrain of the southern reaches. The map documents numerous irrigation laterals, such as Lateral C and Lateral T, which sustain the local farming economy.

Beyond the irrigated fields, the topography breaks into natural features like Peerless Coulee, Willwood Draw, and the seasonal drainage of Roan Wash. A notable modern landmark is the uniquely named Bunch Grass Intergalactic Airport, situated near LN 13. The historic route of the Jim Bridger Trl is also traced through the eastern sections, providing a link to the era of western exploration and migration across the Wyoming plains.
