About this map

The Bighorn River cuts through the eastern landscape of this Big Horn County region, anchoring a complex system of irrigation and natural waterways. This 2017 topographic survey highlights the essential relationship between the river and the surrounding agricultural land, evidenced by the Two Leggins Canal and Big Horn Canal which parallel the river's course. North of the river, the western outskirts of Hardin appear near the Big Horn County Airport, while the landscape to the west rises toward the prominent height of Walker Hill.

Hydrological features dominate the southern half of the map, where Sitting Bull Rapids and Far West Island mark the river's path. Numerous creeks such as Cottonwood Cr and Peritsa Cr drain the high ground, while localized water sources like Eagle Springs provide specific points of interest for those studying the natural history of the area. The grid of county roads, including Old US Hwy 87, illustrates the modern transit network over this historic Montana terrain.
