About this map

Dime Box and Old Dime Box serve as the primary landmarks in this rural Lee County landscape, where the meandering course of Middle Yegua Creek and its many tributaries, such as Turkey Cr and Rocky Cr, define the drainage of the Texas post oak savannah. The map illustrates a transition from the older settlement node to the more established current community, connected by a network of county roads like Co RD 121.

Genealogists can locate several historic burial grounds including High Prairie Cem and Sandy Point Cem near Brushy Cr. To the south, Salem Cem sits near the headwaters of Nails Cr, highlighting the scattered nature of community centers in this region. Significant water features such as Gerdes Lake Number 1 and Smith Lake provide further context for the agricultural and hydrological character of the area near the Burleson County line.
