About this map

The Bighorn River and its confluence with the Greybull River anchor this landscape between the towns of Greybull and Basin. In this arid region, the network of human-made waterways is the defining characteristic of the terrain, visible in the extensive reaches of the Big Horn Canal, Shell Canal, and Tilard Canal. These irrigation systems, alongside the Big Horn Canal Trl, illustrate the vital role of water management in supporting the agricultural settlements of the Bighorn Basin.

Local landmarks such as Greybull Cem and Basin Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists, while the town plans themselves include unique street names like Tin Can Alley. The map also captures the varied topography of the area, from the riparian zones near Schroll Draw to the industrial layouts along Industrial Ave, showing how the early 21st-century infrastructure follows the natural paths carved by the river systems.
