2013 Map of Dew

About this map

Avant Prairie and the community of Dew anchor this section of east-central Texas, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of creeks and branches. The area’s genealogical record is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Kendrick Cem, Salem Cem, and Philpott Cem, which are scattered among the ranch lands. Small settlements like Luna and Freestone appear along the local road system, connected by a web of county roads that cross numerous watercourses such as Graveyard Br and Upper Keechi Cr. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows significant water management features like Hunt Ranch Lake Number 1 and Hunt Ranch Lake Number 2, illustrating the importance of livestock and ranching in this portion of Freestone County during the early 21st century.
