About this map

The settlement of Snook anchors this survey of Burleson County, illustrating a landscape defined by the Brazos River watershed. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses that drain toward the south and east, including the wandering Old River and Cottonwood Bayou near the community of Wilcox. To the southwest, the topography becomes more complex around Davidson Cr and the lowlands of Rough Bayou, showing the rural distribution of farmsteads and ranch roads that have long supported the local agricultural economy.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Snook Cem and Woodfork Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The map also traces the smaller hamlets of Merle and Wilcox, connected by a network of secondary roads such as FM 1361 and FM 60. Notable hydrologic features like Schutte Lake, Hutchings Lake, and the meandering Grassy Slough highlight the seasonal water management and drainage patterns characteristic of this part of East Central Texas.
