2010 Map of Pike

About this map

Bethlehem Cemetery and Du Laney Cemetery anchor the southern reaches of this Fannin County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and local soil conservation projects. Small rural settlements like Pike, Frognot, Arnold, and Lane are connected by an intricate grid of county roads, reflecting a late 20th-century agricultural pattern. The terrain is deeply etched by waterways such as Pot Rack Creek, Indian Creek, and Arnold Creek, many of which feature numerous numbered Soil Conservation Service dams, such as Site 46 Dam and Site 71 Dam. These man-made reservoirs, including Reed Lake Dam, suggest a highly managed watershed designed to mitigate erosion and control flooding across the North Texas blackland prairie.
