2016 Map of Tenaha East

About this map

Tenaha serves as the focal point of this East Texas survey, where the local street grid is defined by historical corridors like N Railroad St and S Center St. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and woods, as Hilliard Cr and Spinney Cr drain toward the southern lowlands. For genealogists, the placement of Restland Cem, Union Cem, and Lone Oak Cem provides essential spatial context for local families. The settlement at Paxton and the small collection of buildings at Flat Fork reflect the dispersed rural community structure common to this part of Shelby County. Significant water features like Valmac Lake and Peddy Lake are clearly delineated alongside the meandering path of Chicken Bayou. The border between Panola Co and Shelby Co is marked across the northern section, dividing the drainage basins of McFaddin Cr and Brushy Cr.
