About this map

The Bighorn River corridor defines this portion of the Big Horn Basin, where a complex network of irrigation infrastructure supports the agricultural landscape surrounding Worland. This 2012 survey illustrates the vital role of water management in the region, featuring the extensive Big Horn Canal, the Upper Hanover Canal, and the Lower Hanover Canal as they parallel the river's course. These man-made waterways enable life in the arid Wyoming terrain, connecting the settlement at West River and the rural community of Washakie Ten to the regional hub.

Local landmarks such as Riverview Memorial Gardens and the industrial footprint implied by Holly Sugar Lime Pit Rd provide specific points of interest for local historians. Natural drainages like Fifteenmile Cr, Tenmile Cr, and the appropriately named Crooked Draw cut through the basin, contrasting with the rigid grid of county lanes and service roads that facilitate movement across the valley floor.
