The Bighorn River cuts through the northern reaches of this landscape, flanked by the protected lands of the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. This terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage and irrigation, essential for managing water in the Big Horn County environment. The Big Horn Canal and various irrigation features like the Soap Cr Ditch and Krone Ditch reflect the human effort to divert water from natural courses such as Soap Cr and Mountain Pocket Cr for agricultural use. Small roads like Soap Creek Rd and the Three Mile Roads provide limited access to the deeply folded topography of the southern sections. This 2020 record documents the modern intersection of public recreation space and the local water infrastructure required to sustain the surrounding region.
