Explore Sheridan, Michigan, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sheridan, Michigan. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Sheridan.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Sheridan emerges from the flat, industrious stretch of central Michigan as a quiet confluence of grid-lined streets and verdant, open horizons. It lies 15.5 miles north of Ionia, MI (from Ionia, MI: bearing 0°T), and is situated 9.3 miles east-northeast of Greenville. The landscape surrounding Sheridan is defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Pearl Lake, whose still waters mirror the expansive Midwestern sky and provide a focal point for the local topography. Beyond the immediate town limits, the terrain opens into a patchwork of agricultural fields and modest woodlots, while the distant, subtle shifts in elevation toward the Brady Hills suggest a more rugged geography far to the west. The air here holds a crisp, earthen clarity, especially during the long, golden hours of dusk when the light flattens against the silos and makes the horizon feel both immense and intimate.
Development in Sheridan finds its roots in the deep, fertile soil that has long dictated the rhythm of local commerce and the seasonal pulse of its residents. While a short distance away, the flow of West Branch Fish Creek cuts a narrow, winding path through the landscape, the economic identity of the area remains firmly tethered to the productivity of the land and the modest sprawl of local enterprise. Recreational life often centers on the manicured fairways of the Holland Lake Golf Course, a space that serves as a communal anchor for those who favor the orderly grace of the outdoors. Daily life in Sheridan moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, reflecting a history of endurance and a persistent, quiet connection to the changing seasons of the Michigan interior.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
