USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
The small community of Shell serves as the focal point for this 1960 field-checked survey of Big Horn County, situated where the arid plains meet the foothills of the Bighorn National Forest. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated irrigation network, necessary for sustaining agriculture in this high-desert environment. Features such as the Shell High Line Canal, Kershner Ditch, and High Line Ditch demonstrate the engineering required to divert water from Shell Creek and Trapper Creek to local ranches and homesteads.
