1982 Map of North Of Sheridan Lake

About this map

Cheyenne Co and Kiowa Co meet along a straight surveyor's line in this high-plains landscape, where the agricultural economy of the early 1980s is defined by isolated infrastructure and water management. The small settlement of Sheridan serves as a focal point in a territory otherwise dominated by sparse ranching or farming operations. Evidence of the region's industrial and logistical needs is found in several Gravel Pits, clusters of Storage Bins, and Tanks located near section lines. The presence of multiple Wells scattered across the township grid underscores the critical nature of groundwater for sustaining life and industry on the semi-arid Colorado plains. This survey represents the area shortly after the mid-1970s aerial data collection, preserving the exact placement of fence lines and rural improvements during this period.
