2015 Map of Lovell

About this map

The Shoshone River bisects this landscape, shaping the development of Lovell and Byron in Big Horn County. The intricate network of irrigation systems, including the Hunt Godfrey Canal, Globe Canal, and the Elk-Lovell Canal, illustrates the heavy reliance on water management for agriculture in this high desert region. These canals trace the contours of the land, diverting water from the river to sustain the surrounding plains. To the north and south, the terrain is defined by dramatic drainage features such as Foster Gulch, Sand Draw, and Black Draw. Local history is anchored by the Lovell Cem and a detailed grid of rural roads like Lane 10 and CR-11, which connect the town centers to the outlying homesteads and industrial sites near the riverbanks.
