About this map

Turlington serves as the central hub for this rural Freestone County landscape, where the road network transitions from state-maintained routes like FM 1364 to a dense grid of local paths such as Co Rd 519. The terrain is defined by a significant drainage system flowing toward the southeast, anchored by the wide path of Upper Keechi Creek and supported by numerous tributaries including Negro Creek, Doudy Branch, and Dry Branch.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of the Day Cemetery near Little Brown Creek and the Mount Zion Cemetery further south. The map also highlights a series of small water impoundments, most notably Richards Lake, Morse Lake, and Hogshead Lake, which characterize the modern ranching and water-management patterns of the region. Distinctive natural landmarks such as Pilot Knob and Big Spring provide further geographic context for researchers tracing historic property boundaries or family land holdings.
