About this map

Fort Phil Kearny and the Fetterman Monument dominate the historical landscape of this Wyoming survey, marking significant conflict sites along the Bozeman Trail corridor. The terrain is defined by prominent rises like Massacre Hill, Lodge Trail Ridge, and Sullivant Hill, which overlook the confluence of Piney Creek and its various branches. These waterways supported early agricultural developments, evidenced by the Kearny Ditch and Leiter Ditch irrigation systems.

Small settlements such as Banner and Kearny serve as local hubs, while the southern edge of the sheet features the northern reaches of Lake De Smet. Genealogists may find value in the presence of Little Piney Cem and another Cemetery near Pilot Knob. The map also details the evolving infrastructure of the 1960s, including multiple Gravel Pits, Radio Towers, and a Roadside Park along the main transit routes through Sheridan and Johnson Counties.
