About this map

The western outskirts of Hardin meet the prominent elevation of Walker Hill in this 2020 study of the Big Horn County landscape. The area is defined by a sophisticated irrigation network that draws from the Bighorn River, including the Two Leggins Canal and the Bighorn Canal, supporting agriculture in the fertile lowlands south of town. These waterworks parallel the river's path, weaving through landmarks like Far West Island and the drainage of Crow Road Coulee.

Transitioning from the river valley to the higher breaks, the terrain is carved by ephemeral waterways such as Peritsa Cr and Cottonwood Cr. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Big Horn County Airport and a grid of rural roads, including Old Us HWY 87 and Two Leggins Creek Rd, which provide access to the high-country reaches near Eagle Springs. This map documents the intersection of modern aviation and traditional water management in a region defined by its reliance on the river's flow.
