1967 Map of Rairden

About this map

The Bighorn River carves a fertile corridor through this high-desert basin, where complex irrigation networks like the Bighorn Canal, Fritz Canal, and Lower Hanover Canal define the settlement patterns. Small stations and trackside communities such as Rairden, Eccles, and Durkee sit along the Burlington Northern railroad, reflecting the era's reliance on rail for agricultural and mineral transport. The landscape is marked by the transition between the riparian valley and the arid uplands, where several Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit indicate the local extractive economy. Natural drainage from Alamo Creek, Fivemile Creek, and Sirmile Creek provides the topographical framework for the boundary between Big Horn and Washakie counties.
