About this map

Tenaha serves as the primary hub in this eastern Shelby County landscape, where the confluence of regional highways and local roads meets a complex network of creek drainages. The settlement of Paxton sits further east along the highway, while the smaller community of Flat Fork is situated to the south. This area is defined by its deep connections to local heritage, evidenced by several established burial grounds including Restland Cem, Union Cem, and Lone Oak Cem.

The terrain is intricately carved by numerous waterways such as McFaddin Cr, Hilliard Cr, and Spinney Cr, all of which eventually feed toward the Sabine River at the northeastern corner. Significant water bodies like Valmac Lake and Peddy Lake are visible, along with the distinct course of Chicken Bayou in the south. The dense grid of county roads, such as Co RD 4370 and Co RD 435, provides clear access points for researchers tracing old homesteads and family tracts across the East Texas timberlands.
