About this map

Lanely sits at the center of this rural landscape where Freestone and Leon Counties meet, serving as a hub for local routes like FM 489 and FM 1848. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Plum Cr, Browns Cr, and Cedar Cr that feed into larger bottomlands. These watercourses have long shaped the agricultural and social layout of the region, from the northern Folsom Hills down to Chandler Bottom in the south.

Local history is preserved in sites like Harrison Chapel Cem and Holly Grove Cem, which stand alongside family-named landmarks such as Burleson Hill. Modern land use is visible through several small impoundments, including Plum Cr Ranch Lake and Snyder Lake. The map illustrates how the natural topography of the Texas post oak savannah, with its numerous branches like Dottie Br and Ten-Yard Br, continues to dictate the placement of ranches and country roads.
