1965 Map of Lanely

About this map

Lanely serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey along the border of Freestone and Leon Counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainage systems, including Upper Keechi Creek, Folsom Creek, and Whitney Creek, which carve through the Folsom Hills. This era shows a rural Texas community structured around small country churches and cemeteries, such as Harrison Chapel Cem and Mt Pleasant Ch. An interesting industrial footprint is visible through several pipelines and a Gas Well situated west of Lanely. The inclusion of Marshy Springs and Chandler Bottom indicates the low-lying, poorly drained areas that contrasted with the more elevated terrain of Burleson Hill, providing a detailed look at the agricultural and geophysical boundaries of the region before significant modern development.
