2010 Map of Tenaha West

About this map

Tenaha anchors the eastern edge of this East Texas landscape, where the local road network converges at the junction of several rail lines. The terrain is defined by a dense web of watercourses, most notably the winding Flat Fork Creek and its many tributaries like Ramsey Creek and Ship Creek. These waterways historically shaped the placement of rural settlements and family landmarks across the countryside. To the west, the community of Tennessee sits near the Tennessee Cemetery, reflecting the long-established burial sites that anchor the local genealogy of the area. Further south, smaller locales such as Bobo and Meldrum follow the path of the railroad, while Hayden Cemetery remains a significant marker in the southeastern corner. The map also captures several man-made features in the creek valleys, including Neel Lake and the Neel Lake Dam, which managed local water resources amidst the wooded hills of Shelby County.
