About this map

The small settlement of Turlington serves as the focal point of this Freestone County landscape, situated at the junction of local routes and the Mt Zion Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Upper Keechi Cr, Big Brown Cr, and Batsmith Cr, which carve through the countryside toward several named water bodies such as Morse Lake and Blackbird Lake. These drainages create a complex hydrological pattern across the region, supporting small-scale livestock and agricultural operations.

Prominent local landmarks such as Pilot Knob and Day Cem offer points of reference for those tracing family history or early Texas land holdings. The abundance of natural springs, including Big Spring and Cold Springs, highlights the historical importance of reliable water sources in the development of this rural community. This survey provides a clear view of the winding county road system that connects these disparate homesteads and natural features.
