Wardel Reservoir and the intricate irrigation systems of Big Horn, Wyoming, define this landscape of high plains and technical water management. The northern portion of the map reveals a complex network of man-made waterways, including the Fairview Canal, Grout Ditch, and Sandstone Ditch, which redirect essential water to thirsty ranch lands and holding basins like Sandstone Reservoir. These features reflect a legacy of systematic land reclamation and water rights engineering in the West.
