Sherman county la located In Eastern O ref on. and la about 100 mile* e s -t of

road running north and south the sntlr«
length of the county, located very
near tn the center, In addition to
an east and west railroad in the
northern part, and also an
other railroad building
along the western and
southern portions of
the county, mak
