2021 Map of Otto

About this map

The Greybull River meanders across the southern portion of this Big Horn County landscape, supporting a complex network of irrigation that defines local agriculture. In the Bighorn Basin, the small community of Otto serves as a focal point near the river's path, where researchers can identify the Otto Cem just to the east. The terrain rises to the north toward the flat-topped Table Mtn and the prominent Emblem Bench. This system of water management is remarkably detailed, tracing the courses of the Highline Ditch, Fairview Canal, and Perkins Ditch. These man-made waterways interact with natural drainages like McKinney Cr and Webster Cr, illustrating the intensive effort to cultivate this arid Wyoming environment during the early twenty-first century.
