2021 Map of Oregon Basin

About this map

The Oregon Basin is defined by its industrial and agricultural water management systems, notably where the Cody Canal cuts through the Wyoming landscape to provide irrigation for the arid high plains. In this modern survey, the terrain is marked by deep drainage features like Coal Mine Gulch and Oregon Coulee, while local ranching and residential history is reflected in specific road names such as Doc Bar, Wild Horse Rd, and Jackie Bee Dr. The presence of Wiley Lake in the southern portion of the basin provides a focal point for the regional hydrology, fed by intermittent watercourses like Sage Cr and Spring Cr. This landscape shows a transition between managed waterways and the natural, winding topography of the basin floor, where small access routes like Blue Bird Ln and Nielson Rd crisscross the township lines of the t52n r101w and t51n r100w survey grids.
