About this map

The growing urban edge of Sherman meets the rural landscapes of Grayson County on this 2010 survey. Development is most concentrated around the Sherman Municipal Airport and along the southern corridor toward Howe. Outside these centers, the land is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Choctaw Creek and Cedar Creek, which are punctuated by numerous watershed management structures like the Soil Conservation Service Site 15 Dam.

For genealogists and local historians, this map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, such as Providence Cemetery, Akers Cemetery, and Holloway Cemetery. Smaller settlements and historic neighborhoods like Tribune, Luella, and White Mound are clearly identified, connected by a lattice of farm-to-market roads and local routes like Luella Rd and Old Dorchester Rd. This map documents a transitional period where suburban expansion begins to blend with established North Texas farming communities.
