1968 Map of Sheridan

About this map

Sheridan is shown here as a thriving regional hub in the late 1960s, defined by its complex irrigation network and position along the Burlington Northern railroad. The map highlights significant public institutions, including the sprawling Veterans Adm Hospital and the Sheridan Jr College campus. The city's residential and civic footprint, including the Courthouse and several local schools like Linden Sch, is surrounded by a landscape dedicated to water management and industry. Numerous man-made waterways like the Burlington Ditch and Grinnell Livestock Company Ditch crisscross the area, feeding from Goose Creek. To the south, the County Airport and the State Girls Sch mark the edge of town before the terrain transitions into the draws and gulches of the Wyoming high plains, such as Chapek Draw and Hunter Draw.
