2022 Map of Fred

About this map

The unincorporated community of Fred serves as the central hub of this East Texas landscape, where the sandy pine barrens meet the dense riparian ecosystems of the Big Thicket National Preserve. The area's social history is recorded in its scattered burial grounds, including the Franks Branch Community Cem and the Fred Community Cem, which speak to the long-standing family lineages in this corner of Tyler County. The terrain is defined by a network of waterways like Beech Creek and Franks Branch, which feed into the more substantial Mill Creek near the southern boundary. To the north, George Lake provides a notable landmark amidst a grid of rural roads and timber tracks. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where hunting culture, as evidenced by Triple L Hunting Club Rd, and conservation efforts coexist along the county line.
