2016 Map of Dacus

About this map

The community of Dacus lies at the heart of this landscape where the Grimes and Montgomery county lines meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Little Caney Creek, Johns Creek, and Madden Branch that carve through the piney woods and pastureland of Southeast Texas. To the northeast, the Sam Houston National Forest marks a protected wilderness boundary, while Patterson Lake sits near the headwaters of Lake Creek. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several family and community landmarks, such as Bethel Cemetery near the forest edge, Waller Cemetery to the west, and Post Oak Cemetery along Post Oak Cemetery Road. The road network, including FM 1486, connects rural residences and ranches, reflecting the area's continued role as a timber and agricultural hub.
