About this map

The Bighorn River flows northward through this portion of Big Horn County, shaping a landscape defined by its riparian corridor and the arid coulees that feed it. Agricultural development is evident through the winding path of the Big Horn Low Line Canal, an essential piece of irrigation infrastructure that supports local operations like Miller Ranch and Ottum Ranch. The terrain rises from the river valley to prominent features such as Ninemile Point and Hive Butte, while drainage systems like Ninemile Creek and Dry Creek cut through the surrounding plains.

Industrial and recreational footprints appear near the southern boundary, marked by the Arapooish Pond and the Hardin KOA Campground. Further north, the Ottun Number 3 Dam manages water flow on the eastern tributaries. This map provides a look at the rural landscape outside of Hardin, illustrating how the river and man-made canals dictate the placement of ranching homesteads and roads like Sugar Factory Rd.
