2010 Map of Fred

About this map

Fred serves as a central hub for this portion of Tyler County, defined by a network of county roads and a landscape interwoven with petroleum extraction. The local economy and geography are anchored by the Fortenberry West Oil Field, East Beech Creek Oil Field, and Jackson-Doty Oil Field, indicating the persistent industrial character of the region. Waterways like Beech Creek and Franks Branch create a dendritic drainage pattern across the terrain, leading toward George Lake and its associated dam. Roadways such as Drakeville Rd, McGallion Rd, and Caneyhead Rd provide a clear view of the rural residential and industrial infrastructure. The presence of settlements like Caney Head and named family roads like Eddings Rd offers valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of this Texas landscape.
