About this map

Sheridan is the central hub of this 2012 landscape, where the confluence of Goose Cr and Little Goose Cr defines the valley floor. The map documents the city's modern footprint, extending from the residential developments of Sheridan Heights Draw in the northwest to the academic grounds of Sheridan Junior College in the south. Aviation and transit infrastructure are prominent, with the Sheridan County Airport anchoring the western edge near Chapek Reservoir Number 1.

Beyond the city limits, an intricate network of irrigation features like the Grinnell Livestock Company Ditch, Burn Cleuch Ditch, and Prairie Dog Ditch Number 11 underscores the region's agricultural dependency. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and geographic features such as Deadman Gulch, Demple Draw, and Gillespie Draw, providing a detailed record for genealogists and local historians tracking land use and legacy in the Powder River Basin.
