2016 Map of Dike

About this map

Dike serves as a central hub in this northeast Texas landscape, situated amongst a dense network of country roads and winding creek systems. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with Crosstimber Cr and White Oak Cr carving through the prairie and woodland. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Connor Cem and Bennett Cem offers precise locations for family research in this rural portion of Hopkins County. Smaller settlements like Mahoney and Weaver provide context for the distribution of residential life away from the primary town centers. The map also highlights local water features such as Patterson Lake and the uniquely named Wholecattle Feeders Lake B, illustrating the area's reliance on managed water resources for livestock and agriculture. Interstate 30 cuts across the southeastern corner, contrasting modern high-speed transit with the slower pace of the surrounding rural routes like FM 69 and Pasture Rd.
