1958 Map of Sherman NW

About this map

Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge borders the western edge of this Grayson County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Harris Creek and Myer Branch. The map documents a rural transition toward the northern outskirts of Sherman, featuring small community landmarks like the Woodmen Circle Home and Wakefield Sch. Transportation and industry drive the local geography, with the Missouri Kansas Texas and Texas and Pacific railroads cutting through the countryside alongside numerous Oil Wells. For family historians, several burial sites and meeting places are preserved here, including Enterprise Cem, Kersey Cem, and the Friendship Ch. The presence of the County Airfield reflects mid-century infrastructure development as the region's agricultural character began to integrate with industrial and aviation needs.
