About this map

Worland serves as the focal point of this 1960s study, situated along the east bank of the Bighorn River. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, showing local institutions such as the Courthouse, Washakie Mem Hosp, and several neighborhood schools including North Side Sch and St Mary Magdalen Sch. The surrounding landscape is defined by an intricate irrigation system essential to the Bighorn Basin, featuring the Upper Hanover Canal, Lower Hanover Canal, and the Bighorn Canal.

Transport and industry follow the river corridor, with the Burlington Northern railroad running parallel to the water. Away from the town center, the map identifies scattered Oil Wells and a rural Drive-in Theater, reflecting the mid-century development of Washakie County. Natural drainage features like Tenmile Creek and Fifteenmile Creek cut through the western terrain, while the Riverview Mem Gardens (Cem) sits at the edge of the settled valley.
