2022 Map of Snook

About this map

The settlement of Snook anchors this Burleson County landscape, where the flatlands are defined by a complex network of creeks and drainage sloughs. A remarkable concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Heavenly Hill Cem, Carvin Cem, Bettis Cem, and Snook Cem, is clustered south of the main townsite, offering a clear spatial record of early settlement patterns and genealogical history. To the south, the community of Merle sits near its namesake Merle Cem, while Wilcox is situated to the east near the banks of Old River. The terrain is characterized by meandering waterways like Bethel Cr and Bridge Cr, which feed into larger bodies such as Hutchings Lake and Schutte Lake. The presence of these named cemeteries and small rural centers provides a detailed framework for tracing local heritage in this part of Texas.
