1984 Map of Bonham

About this map

Bonham serves as the focal point of this mid-1980s survey, showing a landscape defined by its transition from an urban center to the surrounding Fannin County prairie. The town's social and historical fabric is documented through several significant sites, including the Sam Rayburn Mem Veterans Center and the Inglish Cem. Beyond the city limits, the Missouri Pacific line cuts across the terrain, passing landmarks like the Midway Drive-in Theater. To the south, the topography rises toward Arledge Ridge and the winding course of Bois d'Arc Creek. Rural life is anchored by small communities like Edhube and Nunnelee, while the Bonham State Park and City Lake offer insights into the region's water management and recreation. Family researchers will find value in the distribution of several local burial grounds, including the Willow Wild Cemetery and Gates Hill Cem.
