Geography edit

Southern side edit

The village Sheikhan is situated some distance 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) from the right bank of the river Chenab (Chanhan) in the Utar region which flows in the southeast of the village. A rain pond (talaab) is also located a half-mile from the village on the southern side, called Sangar.

Northern side edit

On the north side, a canal flowing from the river Jehlum (Vehat) provides water to village lands for cultivation. Most of the population lives in old villages, while a colony was also settled by prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in the 1970s for non-landowners. A number of the population also lives on the north side crossing the canal after the development of a link road between Jhang and Lalian, which is called Adda Sheikhan.

Adjoining villages edit

Bhawana is just 28 kilometres (17 mi) from Sheikhan. Adjoining villages to the west are Ratta Matta.
