About this map

The Bighorn River corridor defines this landscape south of Worland, where a complex network of irrigation infrastructure supports the agricultural valley. This 2012 survey illustrates the vital role of water management in the region, featuring the Big Horn Canal, Bluff Ditch, and the Upper Hanover Canal Rd. These systems parallel the river, transforming the arid Wyoming basin into productive land near settlements like Colter and South Flat.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain shifts into the dry drainages of Neiber Draw and the plains of Tie Down Flats. The map documents a transition from the intensive cultivation of the river bottom to the open rangeland bisected by Mcgarvin Creek Rd and Cedar Mountain Rd. Waterways such as Gooseberry Cr and Little Gooseberry Cr wind through the western portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns that precede the extensive canal system.
