About this map

Monarch and Kleenburn anchor the southeastern corner of this map along the winding path of the Tongue River in Sheridan County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and named draws, including Dan Draw and Farley Creek, while the Tongue River Ditch illustrates the early engineering required to manage water for this high-plains region.

A historical connection to the local coal industry is evidenced by Snively Coal Bank Road and Coal Bank Road, which wind through the hills north of the river. The map also records essential community landmarks like the Monarch Cem and water infrastructure such as Baldwin Reservoir and Meredith Reservoir. The northern edge of the sheet marks the state line where the Big Horn Co / Sheridan Co boundary meets the Montana-Wyoming border, reflecting the area's place in the broader interstate corridor.
