About this map

Fairfield Lake dominates the central landscape of this Freestone County region, its many-fingered shoreline stretching through a network of creeks and branches. The settlement of Young sits to the north, serving as a focal point for a rural community defined by family landmarks and small-scale infrastructure. Several cemeteries, including Rehobath Cem near the northern border and Chancellor Cem further south, provide critical touchpoints for genealogists tracing the legacy of local families.

A complex drainage system feeds the larger basin, with Big Brown Cr, Little Brown Cr, and Prairie Cr carving through the terrain. Evidence of local aviation is seen at the Big Brown Creek Airstrip, while numerous county and farm roads like FM 488 and Co RD 211 weave between the scattered homesteads. The map also captures the county boundary between Anderson and Freestone Counties, where Tehuacana Cr flows through the wetland areas surrounding Timber Lake.
