Sheridan: US 14 Burgess Junction - North
Burgess Junction sits in the Bighorn Mountains in northern Wyoming, where U.S. Highways 14 and 14A meet within Bighorn National Forest. This high-country crossroads stands among conifer woodland and open mountain meadows, on routes linking the Sheridan area with the interior of the range and the Bighorn Basin. The forest has its origins in the Bighorn Forest Reserve, established in 1897, and now extends across a large part of northern Wyoming. Nearby, the Cloud Peak Wilderness protects the rugged heart of the range, while the highway routes make Burgess Junction a familiar reference point for travellers crossing the Bighorns. It is a practical mountain junction rather than a conventional town centre.

The landscape around Sheridan is defined by dry high plains rising toward the forested Bighorn Mountains, which have shaped both the urban form and local economy. Goose Creek runs through the city, while the mountains to the west have long connected Sheridan with ranching and travel across northern Wyoming. Downtown retains notable late-19th- and early-20th-century commercial buildings, including the Sheridan Inn, opened in 1893 and closely associated with William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody. Trail End, the 1913 home of former Wyoming governor John B. Kendrick, is preserved as a state historic site.

Wyoming stretches from the Montana border to its frontiers with Colorado and Utah, encompassing the high Rockies, broad basins, and Great Plains. The Continental Divide crosses the state, while the Wind River and Bighorn River drain contrasting sides of its interior. In the northwest, Yellowstone National Park—established in 1872 as the world’s first national park—and Grand Teton National Park place geothermal country and sharp mountain relief at the centre of Wyoming’s identity. Ranching remains integral to its open-country culture, alongside communities shaped by railroads, energy, and outdoor travel.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
