About this map

Red Lake and Butler anchor this rural landscape in eastern Freestone County during the mid-2010s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries flowing toward the Trinity River, which forms the eastern boundary of the map. Numerous small water bodies and seasonal drainages, such as Jelly Slough, Indian Cr Lake, and Burleson Lake, dot the area, reflecting the low-lying, hydrologically active nature of the Trinity basin.

Genealogists can locate Mayes Cem and Sand Hill Cem, providing important landmarks for local family history research. The transportation network is dominated by a grid of county roads and several farm-to-market routes like FM 489, which connect these small settlements and scattered residences. This survey captures the region's character as a mix of pasture and woodland, where the economy remains tied to the land and the proximity of the river systems.
