1983 Map of Sheridan

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Sheridan and the surrounding pine-clad hills of Washington Parish are documented here in a detailed provisional survey from the early 1980s. This corner of Louisiana is defined by its dense network of small waterways, including Warner Creek, Thigpen Creek, and Bogue Lusa Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain. The landscape is notably dotted with small family and community burial grounds, such as Simmons Cem, Creel Cem, and Magee Cem, providing a significant spatial record for genealogists and local historians. To the northeast, the Dean Lee State Forest borders the settlement areas, while community life centers around landmarks like Poplarhead Ch and Mt Zion Ch. The presence of the Franklinton Airport and several rest areas suggests the gradual modernization of this rural timber and agricultural region.
