2024 Map of Sheridan

About this map

Sheridan sits at the heart of this LaSalle County landscape, where the confluence of Somonauk Creek and the Fox River shapes the local topography. This 2024 survey captures a rural landscape transitioning into recreational and residential use, most notably seen at Lake Holiday in the north. The area is dense with genealogical interest, containing a high concentration of established burial grounds including Sheridan Cem, Saint John Catholic Cem, and the Northville Cem. While much of the land remains organized by a strict section-line road grid, the winding paths of Mission Creek and Roods Creek provide natural breaks in the geometric fields. Aviation sites like Walnut Creek Airport and Cwian Field point to the modern character of the county, even as the small settlement of Catharine maintains its place on the map.
