1971 Map of Sheridan

About this map

Sheridan sits prominently on the Fox River in this early 1970s survey, a period when the landscape balanced institutional land use with growing recreational development. To the south, the extensive campus of the Illinois Industrial School For Boys occupies a large bend in the river, while to the north, the winding Somonauk Creek feeds into the residential waterfront of Lake Holiday. The map provides a unique look at historical boundaries, clearly marking the Old Indian Treaty Boundary as it cuts across the township lines of Northville and Adams.
