1983 Map of Dooley

About this map

Sheridan County's northern edge meets the international border in this early 1980s record of the high plains landscape. The small settlement of Dooley sits in the southeast corner, anchored by an improved road that provides a rare point of reference in an otherwise sparse, undulating terrain marked by countless depressions and small summits. Along the northern margin, the Canada United States border defines the limits of the survey, where the Saskatchewan Montana boundary separates the rural townships of the northern plains. Water is concentrated in a few named basins such as Johnson Lake and Brightsmen Lake in the northeast, providing essential landmarks in a region defined more by its surveying grid and international frontier than by dense habitation.
