About this map

Hooks and the nearby settlement of Whaley sit at the center of this 2019 survey of eastern Bowie County. The landscape is defined by the managed waters of the Caney Creek Reservoir and the Elliott Creek Reservoir, which break the rolling woodlands south of the Interstate 30 corridor. A remarkable density of family and community burial grounds, including Wilder Cem, Antioch Cem, and Rock Hill Cem, are preserved across the quadrangle, reflecting the deep-rooted local heritage of the region.

The presence of the Elliott Plot and Cotton Plot further emphasizes the private and familial nature of land use in this part of Texas. Waterways like Barkman Cr and Panther Cr drain the northern reaches, while Jones Cr and Elliott Cr feed the reservoirs to the south. This modern survey provides a detailed view of how contemporary infrastructure, such as Palmer Dr and FM 560, integrates with the established agricultural and residential patterns of the area.
