About this map

Sheridan anchors this rural landscape at the intersection of Co Hwy T58 and 320th Ave, serving as the primary settlement hub for the surrounding agricultural townships in northern Poweshiek County. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, with the north-flowing N Walnut Cr and Walnut Cr carving out the central drainage patterns while Big Bear Cr winds across the southern reaches of the quadrangle.

Genealogical interest is centered on the local burial grounds, including the namesake Sheridan Cem just west of the town center and Trinity Cem located further south near the banks of Big Bear Cr. The map preserves the rigid section-line road system characteristic of the Iowa plains, where routes like Newburg Rd and 400th St—which marks the Tama Co Poweshiek Co boundary—trace the historic township and range divisions established by early land surveys.
