About this map

The Grant County seat of Sheridan serves as the central hub of this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by its creek systems and forestry infrastructure. The town is situated at the confluence of several waterways, including Town Branch and Deer Creek, which flow through the residential grid toward larger bodies like Lake Brown. To the north and west, the terrain transitions into a dense network of timber-management routes such as Forestry Road 9600 and Forestry Road 9605, which crisscross the drainage basins of Little Lost Creek and Lost Creek.

Genealogical interest is centered on the Poe Cemetery in the north and Lost Creek Cemetery near the heart of town. These sites, along with smaller named settlements like Slabtown and Cluster, provide fixed points for tracing family history in a region long dominated by the timber industry and river-bottom agriculture. The presence of Whitworth Lake Dam and various grant-numbered land parcels further illustrates the systematic development of this Arkansas timberland.
