2016 Map of Dime Box

About this map

Dime Box and Old Dime Box anchor this landscape along the border of Lee and Burleson Counties. The map reveals the distinct separation between these two historic Texas communities, set amidst a complex network of waterways feeding into the Brazos River basin. Principal drainages like Middle Yegua Creek, W Yegua Cr, and Turkey Creek carve through the undulating terrain, defining the local topography and property boundaries. For those tracing family histories in this part of Texas, the map serves as a vital record of rural infrastructure, identifying long-standing landmarks such as Sandy Point Cem, High Prairie Cem, and Salem Cem. The presence of Smith Lake and Gerdes Lake Number 1 further illustrates the localized water management and land use patterns that have sustained these communities over generations.
