About this map

Sheridan Reservoir and the accompanying Sheridan Dam dominate the upper portion of this 2011 survey, marking a central point of water management in Fremont County. The landscape is defined by its drainages, where Sheridan Creek flows southward from the reservoir and Taylor Creek runs parallel to the east. Higher ground is found along Sheridan Ridge, which separates the reservoir from the southwestern reaches of the quadrangle.

Transportation routes include the modern Kilgore-Yale Rd and the more historic path of Old Hwy 22, providing insight into the connectivity of this rural high-country region. The map details the intricate network of seasonal and permanent watercourses, such as Mud Creek and East Fork Dry Creek, which feed into the larger system. This documentation is essential for understanding the hydrology and land use patterns of this Idaho backcountry area.
