1967 Map of Rairden

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Bighorn River carves a deep meandering path through the arid landscape of the Big Horn Basin, creating a fertile corridor defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems. Settlements like Rairden and Eccles are positioned along the Burlington Northern railroad, which parallels the river's eastern bank. The map reveals the critical importance of water management in this region, showing the extensive reaches of the Bighorn Canal, Fritz Canal, and the Upper Hanover Canal. These man-made waterways contrast sharply with the dry drainages of Alamo Creek and Sixmile Creek. Beyond the agricultural zones, the landscape is dotted with signs of natural resource extraction, including numerous Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit, particularly north of the Big Horn and Washakie county line.
