About this map

Red Lake and the settlement of Butler serve as the primary hubs in this section of Freestone County, situated west of the Trinity River. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and low-lying drainages, including Jelly Slough and various family-named lakes such as Pearson Lake and Evans Lake. This hydrography suggests a region deeply tied to the river's floodplains and local agriculture, where numerous county roads like Co RD 241 and FM 489 connect dispersed homesteads.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks like Sand Hill Cem in the north and Mayes Cem to the east. The presence of several distinct water bodies, including Indian Creek Lake and Red Lake Number 3, reflects the historical management of water resources for local use. The border between Anderson Co and Freestone Co is clearly delineated as it follows the river's winding path at the edge of the survey.
