2017 Map of Sheppard

About this map

Bois D'Arc Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Sandy Bois d'Arc Cr and Mud Cr, define the drainage patterns across this Hempstead County landscape. The area is characterized by a network of rural settlements such as Guernsey, Sheppard, and Powers, connected by a web of local roads like Old Hwy 67 and Old Liberty Rd. The presence of several family and community burial sites, including Westmoreland Cem, Bright Star Cem, and Flowers Hill Cem, provides significant points of interest for genealogical research. The northeastern corner of the map features the Hope Municipal Airport, while the southern reaches are marked by the winding path of Black Br. This survey shows the transition from the more developed outskirts of Hope to the wooded bottoms and agricultural lands of the surrounding countryside.
