About this map

The Bighorn River meanders through this Wyoming valley, providing the lifeblood for the agricultural and municipal developments of the mid-1960s. The town of Greybull anchors the northern portion of the map, situated at the confluence where the Greybull River meets the larger Bighorn waterway. Further south, the town of Basin serves as a secondary hub, connected to its neighbor by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line that tracks the river's path.

Evidence of irrigation and infrastructure is scattered throughout the landscape, from the Shell Canal and Big Horn Canal to the Filtration Plant and various Gravel Pit sites. Local history is grounded in specific community landmarks like the South Big Horn County Hospital, the Greybull Cem, and the uniquely named Tin Can Alley. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the era, including a major Pipeline and several municipal water facilities.
