2016 Map of Howe

About this map

Sherman, the seat of Grayson County, expands its southern reach along the US Hwy 75 corridor in this 2016 record of north Texas settlement. The map documents the rural landscape between the growth of Howe and Tom Bean, where family history is anchored by several historic burial grounds including White Mound Cem, Akers Cem, and Holloway Cem. The area is defined by its small farming communities and aviation hubs like Sherman Municipal Airport and Kahuna Bay Airport, all situated within the drainage basins of Post Oak Cr and Choctaw Cr. Local genealogists can trace the traditional residential patterns of the Luella and White Mound areas, which remain largely characterized by farm-to-market roads like FM 697 and FM 902 even as urban development from the north approaches Summit Hill.
