2022 Map of Tenaha West

About this map

Tenaha and the small settlement of Meldrum anchor this portion of Shelby County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks. The terrain rises to Porter Hill in the north, dividing the waters that flow toward Brushy Creek and Little Caney Creek. A notable concentration of rural burial grounds and sanctuaries, including the Friendship Bobo Baptist Church Cem and Tennessee Cem, speaks to the long-standing community ties in this East Texas timber and agricultural region.
