About this map

Hardin occupies the southwestern corner of this quadrangle, situated where the high plains meet the intricate riparian corridor of the Bighorn River. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's agricultural economy, including the Big Horn Low Line Canal and the Two Leggins Canal. These man-made waterways parallel the river's winding path, carving through the terrain near landmarks like Ninemile Point and Lone Tree Coulee.

Beyond the irrigated valley, the topography rises into a series of drainages and high points, such as Hive Butte and the wide Chapman Coulee. Local history and recreation are reflected in sites like the Arapooish Pond and the Grant Marsh Fishing Access, while rural life is mapped through a grid of named roads including Sugar Factory Rd and Pine Ridge RD. The map documents the persistent connection between the township of Hardin and the water resources that have shaped Big Horn County for generations.
