About this map

Sheridan serves as the central hub for this portion of Montcalm County, situated at the junction of the Grand Trunk Western railroad and several primary local arteries like Condensery Road. The landscape is a mosaic of small glacial lakes and agricultural land, with Pearl Lake and Mitchell Lake bordering the town's western edge. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by numerous small churches and burial grounds including Evergreen Ch, Township Cem, and the United Brethren Ch near Fenwick.

Large conservation tracts such as the Stanton State Game Area and Flat River State Game Area reflect a commitment to preserving the natural Michigan terrain amidst the scattered farmsteads and rural settlements of Amsden and Kings Corner. The rail line, which once provided critical transport for the region's agricultural output, remains a defining feature of the local geography as it cuts through the heart of the village.
