About this map

Keechi is the central settlement in this eastern Texas landscape, situated near the boundary where Freestone and Leon Counties meet. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses and small lakes, including the winding Upper Keechi Cr and Keechi Lake. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features like Alligator Creek, Bess Lake, and Lipsey Lake Number 2, which suggest a wetland environment common to the region's river basins.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Willis Cem, Brooke Cem, and the Plum Creek Cem. The map's road network, featuring FM 489 and FM 832, connects these rural sites to larger thoroughfares, while named landmarks like S C Pickens Lake reflect the area's agricultural and private land ownership history. The presence of Jelly Slough and Tan Yard Br further illustrates the complex drainage patterns of this rural Texas interior.
