About this map

Sherman and Howe anchor this North Texas landscape, where the suburban expansion of the county seat meets the established agricultural patterns of the Texoma region. The topography is defined by the branching tributaries of Choctaw Cr, Post Oak Cr, and Cedar Cr, which carve gentle draws across the terrain. These watercourses historically dictated the placement of early settlements and family burial grounds, several of which remain preserved today.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of historic resting places, including White Mound Cem, Akers Cem, and Providence Cem, scattered between the larger towns and smaller communities like Luella and Tribune. The transport network shows a clear transition from the high-speed corridor of the S Sam Rayburn Fwy to the winding rural routes like FM 697, illustrating how modern infrastructure overlays the older homestead and ranching roads of Grayson County.
