About this map

The Bighorn River and Nowood River converge in this Big Horn County landscape, anchoring the town of Manderson. The settlement is closely tied to its agricultural environment, evidenced by the extensive irrigation network including Harmony Ditch and Avent Ditch that weave through the valley. This 2015 data illustrates a complex system of county roads and lanes, such as Ainsworth Units Rd and N Sherman Ave, which connect local residents to key landmarks like Schoolhouse Gulch and the Manderson Cem.

Beyond the river bottom, the terrain rises toward the arid elevations of Basin Flats and is dissected by numerous intermittent drainages like Dead Horse Gulch, Coyote Gulch, and Wild Horse Draw. The map captures the distinct spatial organization of the Big Horn Basin, where the lifeblood of the rivers supports the townsite while the surrounding uplands remain defined by their natural topography and open range.
