2016 Map of Stratford

About this map

Stratford serves as the focal point of this Sherman County panhandle survey, appearing as a concentrated grid of streets amidst a landscape of high plains agriculture and drainage basins. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, showing the intersection of local thoroughfares like Purnell Ave and S Main St alongside specific residential and commercial divisions. To the northwest and southeast, the ephemeral paths of Frisco Creek and Coldwater Creek reveal the natural topography that dictates the regional water flow. A notable piece of local infrastructure, the Stratford Feeders Reservoir, is situated along the Coldwater drainage, illustrating the critical role of water management in this cattle-and-grain economy. The map also identifies local landmarks essential for genealogical research and community history, including the Stratford Cem and Stratford Field.
