1951 Map of Wardel Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Wardel Reservoir and Sandstone Reservoir dominate the northern landscape of this 1951 Wyoming survey, serving as vital water storage for the surrounding Big Horn Basin. This map records an extensive network of human-made irrigation infrastructure, including the Joe Canal, Fairview Ditch, Grout Ditch, and Extension Ditch. These features illustrate the mid-century efforts to manage water in an arid environment, part of a larger federal initiative for the development of the Missouri River Basin.
