About this map

Sherman and Denison anchor this Grayson County landscape, where the urban expansion of North Texas meets the traditional rural cemetery and creek systems of the Red River valley. The central corridor is dominated by the junction of US Hwy 75, US Hwy 82, and the BNSF Railway, illustrating the modern transportation infrastructure that sustains these growing cities. Historically significant sites such as Austin College and the Grayson County Courthouse mark the civic heart of Sherman, while outlying settlements like Knollwood, Frontier Village, and Twin City suggest the infilling of once-distinct communities.

Water features like Waterloo Lake and Loy Lake provide recreational relief from the grid, while numerous small family burying grounds, including the Taylor Family Cem and Cherry Cem, are preserved among the watersheds of Iron Ore Cr and Post Oak Cr. This topographic record highlights the density of genealogical landmarks scattered across the landscape, from the large Cedarlawn Memorial Park to the small, secluded Loftin- McLain Cem.
