2012 Map of Sheridan

About this map

Sheridan and the community of Springhill anchor this rural landscape in Washington Parish, where the local economy and geography are defined by a network of bayous and creeks. The terrain is divided by watercourses such as Bogue Lusa Cr and Black Bayou, with numerous small family and community cemeteries documenting the area's genealogical history. Notable burial sites including Creel Cem, Magee Cem, and Simmons Cem are scattered across the quadrangle, often situated near winding parish roads and timberlands. Transportation is facilitated by the Franklinton Airport and a grid of rural routes like Zona Rd and Dummyline Rd 1. The map captures a transition between low-lying swampy bayous and the slightly higher ground that supports the small settlements and airfields of this corner of Louisiana.
