About this map

The confluence of the Greybull River and the Bighorn River anchors this mid-century survey of the Big Horn Basin. The landscape is defined by the critical infrastructure of high-plains agriculture and industry, with the Big Horn Canal and Shell Canal cutting through the terrain to support local irrigation. The town of Greybull serves as a major northern hub, while Basin marks the southern extent of the sheet, connected by the vital artery of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line.

Local civic life is recorded through the presence of the South Big Horn County Hospital and the municipal Filtration Plant. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Greybull Cem and Basin Cem. Numerous Gravel Pits and drill holes scattered across Gardens Basin reflect the region's historical reliance on extractive resources and river-bottom materials during this era of development.
