2011 Map of Walker Hill

About this map

Bighorn River hydrology and ranching infrastructure dominate this landscape south of Hardin. The terrain is shaped by a complex system of water management, including the Two Leggins Canal, Big Horn Canal, and numerous private water storage features such as R Downs Number 10 Dam and R Downs Number 6 Dam. These canals and dams illustrate the essential role of irrigation in supporting the valley's agricultural economy. The topographic transition is marked by Walker Hill, providing a vantage point over the converging waters of Two Leggins Creek and Spring Creek. Further south, the river features Far West Island near the junction with Two Leggins Creek Rd, while the uplands are cut by distinct drainage patterns like Williams Coulee and Crow Road Coulee. This map provides a detailed view of the road network connecting remote ranching outposts, including Old Us Hwy 87 and Maverick Rd, tracing the paths of local commerce and movement through the Big Horn basin.
