2019 Map of Tenaha West

About this map

Porter Hill stands at the center of this East Texas landscape, straddling the border between Panola and Shelby counties. This 2019 survey captures a rural environment defined by winding creek beds and family-named landmarks. The settlement of Tenaha sits at the eastern edge, while the small community of Meldrum is situated to the southwest. The terrain is deeply carved by a dense network of waterways, including Lightfoot Cr, Risinger Cr, and Flat Fork Cr, which influence the layout of the local county road system. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, such as Tennessee Cem near Neel Lake, and Bobo Cem further south. The map provides a detailed view of these rural road networks and the way they navigate the intricate drainage basins of the Sabine River watershed.
