Bighorn Basin is a resource-rich segment of the Missouri River System, replete with extensive irrigated areas of fertile cropland, desert grazing lands, cattle and sheep ranches, tower ing mountains, forests, oil and gas wells and refineries, eight thriving cities, a bustling tourist traffic, and deposits of benton ite, sulphur, gypsum, phosphate, and other minerals. The study area includes the drainage of the Bighorn River from Boysen Dam, at the head of Wind River Canyon in Wyoming, to the Yellowtail dam site, at the mouth of Bighorn Canyon in Montana. The upper portion of the drainage of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone lo cated west of the Basin has been included in the area because it comprises a physical and economic land group. The area is 130 miles long by 153 miles in width, and covers 13, 510 square miles.
The Custer National Forest is on the mountains in the north western and northeastern portion of the area in Montana. The Big Horn National Forest is on the eastern portion of the area and the Shoshone National Forest is on the west in Wyoming. Wind River Indian Reservation is in the southwestern part of the Basin and the Crow Reservation is in the Pryor Mountains on the north east in Montana. The National Forests and Indian reservations are located on mountainous lands and were not examined. They cover an area of 2, 502, 864 acres. Gross size of the Basin area is 8, 646, 555 acres, with a net area of 6, 143, 691 acres, which has been examined as set forth in this report. This net area is private, state, and public domain land located outside the National Forests and Indian lands.
Political subdivisions included within the area are Big Horn, Hot Springs, Park, and Washakie Counties in Wyoming, and parts of Carbon, Big Horn, and Park Counties in Montana. Important cities are Basin, Cody, Greybull, Lovell, Powell, Thermopolis, and Worland, Wyoming, and Bridger, Montana. The Bureau of Reclamation units in the area include the pioneer Shoshone project with Buffalo Bill Dam and power plant, and the Shoshone extension unit.

Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
