About this map

Sheridan anchors the southern portion of this landscape at the intersection of local routes like W Noble St and W Walnut St, situated just south of the Iowa Missouri state line. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Platte River and its tributary, Platte Br, which carve through the undulating hills of Worth County. To the east, the Grand River flows near the settlement of Isadora, where the Isadora Cemetery serves as a local landmark.

The map reveals a rural economy of scattered farmsteads and small aviation facilities, notably the Hibbs Farm Airport located south of the main township. Local genealogy and history are preserved at several burial grounds, including the Sheridan Cemetery and the Athelstan Cemetery, which sits near the northern village of Athelstan on the Taylor County line. Distinctive geographical features like the peak at Devils Horn and a series of named reservoirs such as Hoover Lake and Bonnies Lake further characterize this Missouri-Iowa borderland.
