2012 Map of Rairden

About this map

The Bighorn River corridor defines this part of Washakie County, where a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure supports the arid landscape. The Big Horn Canal and Fritz Canal parallel the river's winding path, while the Lower Hanover Canal serves the eastern reaches. This intricate water system allows for agricultural life near small settlements like Rairden and Eccles, which are situated along the primary north-south transport routes. To the southwest, the industrial footprint of the Devon Oilfield and its network of roads like Devon Oilfield Rd signal the importance of energy extraction in the region. The map also traces several drainage patterns, including Fivemile Cr and Sixmile Cr, which flow toward the central river valley.
