2010 Map of Hooks

About this map

Hooks and the nearby settlement of Whaley are defined by a complex grid of patrol and arterial roads, reflecting the area's organized infrastructure in the early 21st century. The landscape is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, including Wilder Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and Runnels Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. This proximity of numerous small cemeteries suggests a deeply rooted residential history even as modern developments like Caney Creek Reservoir and Elliott Creek Reservoir have altered the drainage patterns of Jones Creek and Nettles Creek. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the expansive waters of Wright Patman Lake, where the Elliott Creek Dam and Caney Creek Dam regulate the flow of the region's prominent tributaries.
