1993 Map of Dayton South

About this map

Dayton marks the northeastern corner of this Sheridan County survey, where the Tongue River exits the steep canyon country of the Bighorn National Forest. The landscape is defined by the transition from high-altitude features like Steamboat Point and Hendrick Ridge to the agricultural valley floor where the Tongue River Ditch No 1 and Side Ditch distribute water. Local history is anchored by the Tongue River High Sch, the town Cem, and established properties such as the IXL Ranch and Horseshoe Ranch. An Abandoned Telephone Line and the Roosevelt Trail trace through the southern reaches near Wolf Creek, while the Winter Range indicates the area's importance for local wildlife management and big game.
