2022 Map of Dike

About this map

The unincorporated community of Dike and the nearby settlements of Mahoney and Weaver characterize this rural landscape in Hopkins County. Historically significant family and community burial grounds, such as Mahoney Cem, Weaver Cem, and East Caney Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering essential coordinates for genealogical research. The local geography is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding White Oak Creek and its many tributaries like Black Jack Branch and Lollars Branch. These creek bottoms and lowlands alternate with open pastures and timbered tracts, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of the region. Interstate 30 cuts through the southern portion of the area near the Spence Cemetery, providing a modern contrast to the older country road network that still connects these historic East Texas communities.
