About this map

Hooks and the neighboring settlement of Whaley are central to this Bowie County landscape, where the local terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways and a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds. Several creeks, including Barkman Cr, Panther Cr, and Caney Cr, flow through the area, with the latter feeding into the Caney Cr Reservoir. To the east, Elliott Cr and its associated Elliott Cr Reservoir further mark the geography.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find an exceptional concentration of cemeteries across this quadrangle. These sites, such as Wilder Cem near the town center, and the more peripheral Antioch Cem, Reed Cem, and McAdams Cem, point to long-established family lineages and rural community hubs. The street grid of Hooks is characterized by a mix of numbered streets and avenues like E Avenue E and W 22nd St, illustrating the town's early 21st-century residential layout.
