About this map

Sheridan appears in this late 1960s survey as a flourishing hub in northern Wyoming, centered where Goose Creek and Little Goose Creek converge. The urban landscape is marked by substantial public institutions, including the prominent Veterans Adm Hospital north of the city and the Sheridan Jr College to the south. Historically significant landmarks are well-represented, most notably the Sheridan Inn Nat Hist Landmark, a remnant of the era when the railroad arrival transformed the region's economy.

Infrastructure for transportation and education is a defining theme, from the Sheridan County Airport to specialized facilities like the State Girls Sch and High Sch. The Burlington Northern railroad lines run parallel to the creeks, supporting the irrigation network of the Soldier Creek Ditch and Cleuch Ditch. Community life is anchored by several parks and the Courthouse, while the northern outskirts at Shepard Heights show the city's residential expansion toward the rolling plains.
