About this map

Lanely sits at a high point in Freestone County, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Upper Keechi Cr and Plum Cr. The area exhibits a classic East Texas rural pattern, with family and community names anchored to the terrain, such as Burleson Hill and the Folsom Hills. These elevations overlook the low-lying Chandler Bottom, reflecting the region’s traditional reliance on geography for both pasture and settlement.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including Harrison Chapel Cem, Holly Grove Cem, and Mount Pleasant Baptist Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the communities that formed along these county roads. The southern edge of the survey reaches the boundary of Freestone Co and Leon Co, tracing the movement of water through features like Snyder Lake and the uniquely named Fulks Dugout. The network of private and county roads, such as FM 489 and FM 1848, remains the primary infrastructure for this ranching and timber-rich territory.
