A Sheridan County township map answers two different questions around Selden: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. The free Sheridan County parcel viewer and the parcel record generally display both.
What a Sheridan County township map displays
The named townships on a county map are civil townships, and a parcel near Selden belongs to exactly one of them. Rural land in Sheridan County sits on the Public Land Survey System, with blocks about 6 miles on a side, split into 36 sections of about 640 acres.

The lay of the land around Hoxie
From Hoxie, the seat of the county, the map spreads out to Selden. Unincorporated communities in the county, including Angelus, Seguin, and Studley, display up as small groups of parcels along the roads. Census Bureau estimates put Sheridan County at about 2,423 residents in 2023 on about 896 square miles of land. Outside Angelus, most of the county map is farm, ranch or timber ground with large, irregular tracts.
Reading sections near Hoxie
For land around Angelus, sections are numbered from 1 in the northeast corner, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Aliquot descriptions for land near Angelus read backward: locate the southwest quarter, then its northeast quarter, on the county grid. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Angelus may not be exactly 640 acres.
Deeds, districts and roads
Older deeds near Angelus may name a township differently than today's Sheridan County records, so compare the legal description too. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Sheridan County don't always follow township lines near Hoxie, so check each one separately.

Where Sheridan County land records are kept
For land near Selden, the deed itself lives in the county recording office, and the map is an index to it. Copy the parcel identifier and legal description from the county record before you request a deed for land near Hoxie.
Taxes, permits and township lines
