2010 Map of Shelbyville

About this map

Shelbyville serves as the central hub of this East Texas landscape, where the drainage networks of Tenaha Creek and Flat Fork Creek dictate the rural layout. The terrain is defined by a dense web of county roads connecting small settlements and family landmarks, such as Antioch, James, and Sardis. A legacy of local genealogy is preserved in sites like Smith Cemetery and Price Cemetery, while the presence of Bone Hill Lake Dam and Windham Lake Dam highlights modern water management across the creek-cut topography. The map illustrates a typical Piney Woods transition, where the forest gives way to the clearings of established communities like Webb and Campti. Researchers can trace the specific path of Town Creek as it winds through the heart of the namesake town, reflecting the historical importance of local water sources to settlement patterns in Shelby County.
