About this map

The settlement of Keechi and its surrounding countryside in Freestone County are defined by a network of creeks and small impoundments. The landscape is dominated by the flow of Upper Keechi Creek and its many tributaries, including Alligator Creek and Brook Spring Branch. Land use reflects a mix of traditional agriculture and resource extraction, notably marked by the Oakwood Dome Oil Field.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the presence of several established burial grounds, such as Keechi Cemetery, Willis Cemetery, and Brooke Cemetery. The area's water management is evident in numerous named dams and private lakes, including S C Pickins Dam and Bess Lake Dam, which dot the terrain between the small communities of Plum Creek and Keechi. The map captures a detailed view of the rural road network, from state routes like FM 489 to numerous numbered county roads.
