2013 Map of Shelbyville

About this map

Shelbyville and the surrounding rural communities of Sardis, Antioch, and Campti are the primary focus of this East Texas survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, notably the winding Tenaha Cr and Flat Fork Cr, which feed into numerous smaller branches like Beauchamp Cr and Caney Cr. The settlement pattern follows a dense grid of county roads that connect these small hamlets, reflecting a long-standing agricultural and timber-based economy. Local history is anchored by sites like Price Cem and Smith Cem, while the topography is punctuated by Bone Hill and water bodies such as Windham Lake and Bone Hill Lake. The presence of numerous named drainages like Seymour Watson Br and Carlyle Br suggests a terrain heavily influenced by its hydrography, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of Shelby County in the early 21st century.
