2012 Map of Kane

About this map

Bighorn Lake dominates this Big Horn County landscape, where the confluence of the Shoshone River and Bighorn River creates a complex system of wetlands and shifting channels. The settlement of Kane sits on the western shore of the lake, positioned near the intersection of several local routes like Co RD 20. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Katys Nipple and drainage features like Little Sand Draw. Agricultural development in this arid environment is evident through the reach of the Sunlight Canal and Lovell Canal. To the southeast, the geography rises toward the foothills, containing water management features such as the Five Springs Number 2 Reservoir and the seasonal flows of Five Springs Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern hydrological state of the Yellowtail Dam's impact on the river valley.
