About this map

The Bighorn River carves a path through this high-plains landscape, where the town of Kirby serves as a central hub for the surrounding ranching and industrial activity. Settled along the riverbanks, the community is defined by its grid of streets including W Main St and S Dickie St. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by extraction and water management, with the Kirby Ditch and Bluff Ditch providing critical irrigation to the arid basin.

Evidence of the region's energy history is scattered across the terrain, notably at the Crosby Mine, Eagle Mine, and Cowboy Mine. To the west, the settlement of Gebo is reached via Gebo Rd, while the northern reaches include Winchester and the small community of The Willows. Large-scale natural features like Sand Draw and Walters Draw underscore the drainage patterns that feed into the primary river valley.
