1958 Map of Sherman NW

About this map

The Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge anchors the northwest corner of this landscape, established as a sanctuary for migratory birds on the shores of Lake Texoma. This 1950s survey captures the mid-century expansion of Sherman, where residential blocks begin to push toward the edge of Sherman Field. The economic life of the area is mapped through a series of Oil Wells and the intersecting routes of the Missouri - Kansas - Texas and Texas and Pacific railroads. Community centers like Hagerman Ch and Friendship Ch provide important markers for genealogists, alongside local burial sites at Enterprise Cem and Kersey Cem. Notable landmarks include the Woodmen Circle Home and the Wakefield Sch, providing a look at the social infrastructure of Grayson County during this era of growth.
