1965 Map of Dike

About this map

Dike and the surrounding rural landscape of Hopkins County are defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding into the larger river systems of Northeast Texas. This 1965 survey reveals a pattern of dispersed agricultural settlements, including Mahoney and Weaver, where community life centered around small country churches and cemeteries. Family history researchers will find valuable landmarks such as the Connor Cem, Bennett Cem, and Center Point Cem, alongside rural congregations like White Oak Ch and Richland Ch. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses such as North Caney Creek and White Oak Creek, which dictated the layout of local roads and the placement of early farms. Industrial activity is minimal but present, evidenced by a Drill Hole near White Oak Junction and a Sandpit located near Brinker.
