2016 Map of Snook

About this map

Snook and the smaller settlements of Merle and Wilcox anchor this agricultural region of Burleson County, where the Brazos River bottomlands transition into the rolling uplands. The drainage patterns are a defining characteristic, with the Old River and Cottonwood Bayou snaking through the eastern lowlands, while Davidson Cr and Rough Bayou drain the southwestern reaches. Local genealogy and land use history are preserved in the naming of rural landmarks such as Snook Cem and Woodfork Cem, along with private holdings like Baumann Ranch Rd. The landscape is dotted with several significant water bodies including Schutte Lake and Hutchings Lake, which alongside features like Grassy Slough, indicate a terrain shaped by historical river shifts and seasonal overflows. This survey provides a clear view of the rural road network, including the farm-to-market roads and county lanes that connect these long-standing Texas communities.
