2018 Map of Worland

About this map

Worland stands as the primary hub of this high-plains landscape, situated along the eastern banks of the Bighorn River. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply engineered agricultural environment, where an intricate network of irrigation systems—including the Big Horn Canal, Lower Hanover Canal, and Highland Hanover Canal—transforms the arid Basin terrain into productive land. The BNSF Railway parallels the river, anchoring the town’s industrial and transport identity. Local landmarks such as Saint Alban's Episcopal Church Columbarium and Riverview Memorial Gardens provide specific points of interest for genealogists. Beyond the urban grid, the map details the rugged drainage systems of Fifteenmile Creek and Crooked Draw, illustrating the stark contrast between the irrigated valley floor and the surrounding desert plateaus.
