What the map covers, from Sheridan to the back roads
Parcel searches in Sheridan County tend to center on Sheridan, the county seat, plus Clearmont, Dayton, and Ranchester. By Census Bureau figures, the county had roughly 32,519 residents in 2023, spread over about 2,523 square miles of land. The parcel pattern around Big Horn is typical for the county: farm ground, wooded tracts and a handful of homesites carved off the road frontage. Look for Bighorn National Forest on the map; the private tracts touching it are some of the most asked-about parcels in Sheridan County.
The Sheridan County economy in brief
By the Census Bureau's 2022 count, 2,286 business establishments operated in Sheridan County. Professional and technical services had the most, followed by retail trade and construction. What stands out is support activities for mining and drilling, mining (except oil and gas), and professional, scientific and technical services: those sectors make up a much larger slice of local businesses than they do nationally. In Sheridan County, minerals are often severed from the surface, so the owner on the parcel map may not own what's underneath. It's useful background when you're judging whether a tract near Dayton will hold its value.
