2020 Map of Sheridan

About this map

Franklinton sits on the western edge of this Washington Parish survey, while smaller rural settlements like Springhill and Sheridan anchor the central and northeastern corridors. The landscape is defined by the dense network of tributaries flowing toward the Bogue Lusa Cr, including Bett Cr and Witcher Cr. In the southern reaches, the Back Swamp represents a distinct lowland environment, contrasting with the higher ground occupied by the Franklinton Airport. Family legacies are deeply etched into the geography through numerous rural burial grounds such as Magee Cem, Simmons Cem, and Thigpen Cem, which are scattered throughout the townships. The transition from timber-rich wetlands to agricultural plots is evidenced by the complex system of parish roads, including Dummyline RD 1, a name hinting at the historical influence of logging railroads in this corner of Louisiana.
