About this map

The city of Sheridan is the focal point of this late-1960s survey, showing its development at the confluence of Goose Creek and Little Goose Creek. As a major regional hub, the map documents significant civic and federal infrastructure, including the sprawling Veterans Adm Hospital and the Sheridan Courthouse. Historic preservation is noted by the Sheridan Inn Nat Hist Landmark near the Burlington Northern railroad tracks, a remnant of the town's frontier railroad heritage.

Rural expanses surrounding the city are etched with a complex network of irrigation ditches, such as the Soldier Creek Ditch and Cleuch Ditch, reflecting the high-plains ranching economy. Educational and social history is grounded in the locations of Sheridan Jr College, the State Girls Sch, and neighborhood staples like Taylor Sch and Linden Sch. Purple revisions from 1976 highlight the suburban growth and the expansion of the County Airport south of the city center.
