Landmarks & Vanished Communities

This index preserves the TXGenWeb collection of named places, geographic features, historic sites, and vanished communities associated with Shelby County, Texas.

About the coordinates: The USGS no longer maintains the GNIS database links formerly used by this collection. Copy and paste a latitude/longitude pair into a modern map service to view the location. Older coordinates may reflect NAD27 rather than NAD83, so some points can appear slightly displaced.

This index preserves the TXGenWeb collection of named places, geographic features, historic sites, and vanished communities associated with Shelby County, Texas.

About the coordinates: The USGS no longer maintains the GNIS database links formerly used by this collection. Copy and paste a latitude/longitude pair into a modern map service to view the location. Older coordinates may reflect NAD27 rather than NAD83, so some points can appear slightly displaced.

In the song, the towns were not called in order, the correct order from north to south is Tenaha, Bobo, Timpson & Blair. USGS & Yvonne Beard yvonne8108@aol.com
