About this map

Dime Box serves as the primary hub in this rural Lee County landscape, where a network of county roads connects scattered homesites and agricultural lands. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage of the Yegua Creek system, including the Middle Yegua Creek, West Yegua Creek, and East Yegua Creek. These waterways, along with smaller tributaries like Boggy Branch and Nails Creek, dictate the placement of local infrastructure and crossings.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of community landmarks, such as the High Prairie Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, and Sandy Point Cemetery. The southern portion of the area features the settlement of Sweet Home, while managed water resources are evident at Smith Lake Dam and the Gerdes Lake Number 1 Dam. This 2010 survey reflects a quiet Texas interior where modern county roads like Co Rd 121 and FM 1697 Rd follow the long-established paths between historic family burial grounds and creek crossings.
