About this map

Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern landscape of this Sheridan County survey, showing a complex system of water management within the prairie pothole region. This area, mapped between 1946 and 1948 with later revisions, reveals a rural economy transitioning from early homesteading to a more regulated agricultural and conservationist layout. The presence of numerous structures like Dam No 11 and Dam No 12 along Sand Creek and Cottonwood Creek highlights the critical role of water control in this high-plains environment.
