2012 Map of Monarch

About this map

The Tongue River serves as the central artery for this region near the Wyoming-Montana border, where the small settlements of Monarch and Kleenburn are located. This early 21st-century landscape is defined by its water management and transport infrastructure, notably the Tongue River Ditch which runs parallel to the main river channel and the Kleenburn-Monarch road connecting the local communities. The area is marked by a network of seasonal and perennial drainage systems including Ash Cr, Hidden Water Cr, and Slater Cr, alongside named terrain features like Dan Draw. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Monarch Cem positioned south of the river, while the presence of Kooi Rd and various named ranch roads like Little Ash Rd point to the rural residential and agricultural patterns that persist in this corner of Sheridan County.
