About this map

Hooks and the nearby settlement of Whaley dominate the northern corridor of this Bowie County landscape, where the transport network is defined by a dense grid of military and arterial roads. The presence of Elliott Plot and Cotton Plot points to specific land divisions near the extensive grounds of the local military installation, which is crisscrossed by routes like N Patrol Rd and Arterial Road No 1.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its high density of burial sites, including the Arkadelphia Baptist Church Cem, Myrtle Springs Cem, and Runnels Cem. The southern half of the map is defined by water management and drainage, notably the Caney Creek Reservoir and the Elliott Creek Reservoir, which gather the waters of Panther Cr and Rock Cr. This 2022 survey captures the modern intersection of industrial military infrastructure and traditional community landmarks.
