1968 Map of Acme

About this map

The Tongue River meanders through the heart of this Sheridan County landscape, where the settlements of Acme and Kleenburn sit at the confluence of major waterways and industrial transport. The arrival of the Burlington Northern railroad alongside Goose Creek defines the local infrastructure, supporting the area's development near the Montana state line. Agricultural management is evident through an intricate network of irrigation, including the Gladewater Ditch and Interstate Ditch, which divert water to the surrounding basins. The terrain is marked by numerous drainage features such as Beatty Gulch, Youngs Creek, and Hidden Water Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the High Plains. This 1968 survey, with later revisions, documents a period of established ranching and rail activity before significant modern landscape changes occurred.
