1963 Map of Sheridan

About this map

The town of Sheridan serves as the focal point of this Madison County survey, situated in the heart of the fertile Ruby Valley. The landscape is defined by a sophisticated network of water management, with numerous irrigation features like the West Bench Canal, Carey Ditch, and Bouge Lateral branching off the Ruby River. These systems demonstrate the agrarian foundation of the region during the mid-20th century, supporting the small settlements that dot the valley floor.
