About this map

The Bighorn River corridor near Hardin is defined by a complex network of irrigation and aviation, centered around the Big Horn County Airport. The landscape is etched with the courses of Cottonwood Creek and Peritsa Creek, while the Two Leggins Canal and S Big Horn Canal demonstrate the region's reliance on managed water systems. Significant landmarks include the prominent elevation of Walker Hill and the historical trajectory of Old US Hwy 87, which parallels modern transit routes.

Downriver, the environment shifts toward the river's natural features, including Far West Island and the Sitting Bull Rapids. Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Hardin Cem and various named springs like Eagle Springs useful for anchoring family land records. The map also captures the interface between the township boundaries of t1s r33e and the agricultural lands served by Williams Coulee.
