The Bighorn River corridor defines the landscape of this high plains region, where an intricate network of irrigation systems has transformed the arid terrain. The city of Worland serves as the central hub, appearing here alongside the smaller settlements of Washakie Ten and West River. The engineering of the Big Horn Basin is visible in the paths of the Big Horn Canal, Lower Hanover Canal, and the Highland Hanover Canal, which draw water from the river to support local agriculture. In addition to the town infrastructure, the map details many local landmarks such as Riverview Memorial Gardens and the Leithead Reservoir. Natural drainages like Fifteenmile Creek, Slick Cr, and Tenmile Cr crisscross the township lines, illustrating the complex hydrology that supports this community.
