1895 Map of Sherwood

USGS Topo · Published 1895

About this map

The West Texas frontier in the 1890s appears as a land of wide drainage basins and scattered cattle-country settlements. Sherwood, then the nascent county seat of Irion County, sits as the central hub near the confluence of Spring Creek and other major tributaries. The settlement of Knickerbocker lies to the east along Dove Creek, while Arden is positioned further north near the Middle Concho River. This 1893 survey by W.H. Herron meticulously records the complex terrain of the Edwards Plateau, highlighting prominent landmarks like Lopez Peaks and the Twin Buttes. The map reveals how early ranching-era movement followed the waterways, with the South Concho River and Live Oak Creek providing critical orientation for travelers and homesteaders across the expansive divide between Tom Green and Schleicher counties.
