2010 Map of Manchester

About this map

The rural landscape of Red River County is defined by a dense network of winding bayous and creeks, centered around the settlement of Manchester. In this corner of Northeast Texas, the geography is dictated by the passage of Big Pine Creek and the meandering Pecan Bayou, which create a complex drainage pattern across the terrain. Small communities such as Kanawha and Addielou are linked by a grid of county roads and Farm Rd 195, serving as local hubs for the surrounding farm and ranch land. Genealogical interests are grounded at the Calhoun Cemetery, while the local hydrology is punctuated by several small reservoirs, including Cowper Lake and Tallant Lake, each held by namesake dams. The presence of Dinwiddie Bayou and Lick Creek further illustrates the low-lying, water-rich character of the region, where the natural flow of water has long influenced settlement patterns and agriculture.
