About this map

Red Lake and the small settlement of Butler define this section of Freestone County, characterized by a complex network of creeks and sloughs draining toward the Trinity River in the east. The landscape is dotted with several significant water bodies, including Indian Cr Lake, Burleson Lake, and Pearson Lake, alongside named tributaries like Willow Cr and Saline Br. This area shows a pattern of rural development focused around the high ground of Sand Hill, where historical footprints are preserved at Sand Hill Cem.

Transport is dictated by a grid of prairie roads and county routes such as Rabbit Ridge Rd and Oakwood Rd. The presence of Maze Cem in the eastern portion and the concentration of small lakes like Red Lake Number 3 and Harding Lake suggest a long-standing relationship between local residents and the marshy, creek-fed terrain. The intricate hydrography, including Jelly Slough, highlights the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this part of Texas for generations.
