About this map

The northern reaches of Teague and the surrounding Freestone County landscape are defined by a mix of agricultural history and industrial infrastructure as they appeared in the early 1960s, with later updates through 1982. The Burlington Northern railroad serves as a central spine for the region, passing through the heart of town and near the Teague Municipal Airport. Water management is prominent in the southern portion of the map, where Teague City Lake sits alongside the Upper Club Lake and Lower Club Lake reservoirs. These water bodies, situated near the Furney-Richardson Sch, suggest a landscape shaped for both local utility and recreation.

Rural community life is anchored by a network of small churches and schools, including Gibson Chapel, Union Prim Ch, and Titus Chapel. Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds such as Shiloh Cem and Hopewell Cem, alongside small industrial footprints like several Claypit and Gravel Pit sites. The presence of the small settlement of Cotton Gin and several large Pipeline corridors reflects the area's transition between traditional cotton farming and modern energy infrastructure.
