1964 Map of Gober

About this map

The North Sulphur River and Middle Sulphur River systems define this rural landscape on the border of Fannin and Hunt Counties. Small farming communities such as Gober and Silver City are connected by a network of local roads and sections of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which skirts the southern edge near Wolfe City. This mid-century survey captures the region's agricultural character, dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds including Rehobeth Cem and Woods Cem. The presence of several quarries and a Gravel Pit near Gober indicates local extraction industries that operated alongside the river bottoms. Specialized landmarks like the Henington Landing Strip and the Radio Tower near Center Point Cem provide specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracing 1960s rural development.
