About this map

The Bighorn River flows through this landscape, flanked by the irrigation infrastructure of the Two Leggins Canal and the Big Horn Canal. The terrain is defined by dramatic coulees and creek beds, including Williams Coulee and Cottonwood Creek, which cut through the open country. Much of the southern and eastern portion of the sheet is marked by the Crow Indian Reservation Boundary, illustrating the land's complex administrative history.

Industrial and transportation corridors are prominent, with the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line following the path of Peritsa and several gravel pits. Higher elevations at Walker Hill provide a vantage over the surrounding river valley, while localized features like Eagle Springs and the Crow Road indicate the established routes and natural water sources used by residents and travelers in the mid-20th century.
