2019 Map of Dacus

About this map

The boundary between Montgomery Co and Grimes Co bisects this landscape, where the rural settlement of Dacus serves as a central point for local travel along FM 1486. To the northeast, the Sam Houston National Forest reaches into the quadrangle near Patterson Lake, providing a wooded contrast to the scattered residential developments and farms that define the rest of the area. Family and community history are preserved in several locations, including Waller Cem, Post Oak Cem, and Bethel Cem. Drainage is defined by a dense network of small waterways, such as Little Caney Cr, Johns Cr, and Madden Br, which flow through the rolling terrain. The road network, including Co RD 243 and FM 1774, illustrates the modern connectivity of this region while respecting the historical placement of original homesteads and cemeteries.
