2017 Map of Monarch

About this map

The Tongue River cuts through the southern reaches of this landscape near the border between Wyoming and Montana, anchoring a corridor of historical activity in Sheridan County. The settlement of Monarch and the nearby locale of Kleenburn represent a long-standing presence in this river valley, which is marked by the Evangelical Lutheran Cem of Monarch and the Monarch Cem. This area serves as a transition from the structured river lowlands to the more dissected drainage systems to the north, where numerous creeks such as Little Ash Cr, Ash Cr, and Slater Cr carve through the terrain. Evidence of the local topography is captured in named features like Dan Draw and the various forks of N Dry Cr. The map details a network of rural routes, including Acme Rd and Sheridan Co Rd 93, that connect these communities to the surrounding high plains and seasonal watercourses.
