2010 Map of Sanger

About this map

Sanger and its surrounding agricultural and energy-producing lands are captured here at a moment of significant northern Denton County growth. The landscape is defined by the corridor of the Stemmans Fwy and the older routes of FM 156 and Railroad Ave. Outside the primary settlements of Krum and Bolivar, the area is punctuated by small private airfields such as Flying V Airport, Ironhead Airport, and Richards Airport, reflecting a pattern of rural land use where aviation and ranching intersect. Genealogists will find the Sanger Cemetery and Duck Creek Cemetery clearly marked among the drainages of Clear Creek and Duck Creek. The presence of the Sanger Oil Field near the center of the quadrangle indicates the area's continued industrial activity, while numerous small water impoundments like Lane Lake Dam and Tedrow Lake Dam highlight the importance of water management in this prairie terrain.
