About this map

Manning sits at the heart of this East Texas landscape, shaped by a network of creeks and small impoundments. The community is closely tied to its water resources, with the Millpond and Club Lake situated near the M M Flournoy Dam and Manning Club Lake Dam. The terrain is defined by low-lying drainages including Brushy Creek, Possum Trot Creek, and Shawnee Creek, which cut through the piney woods. To the north, Shawnee Prairie represents a distinct opening in the timbered landscape.

Local history is preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Renfro Cemetery and Treadwell Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogists. The road network, including FM-1818 and FM-844, connects these rural outposts with named landmarks like Bill Hill. This survey captures the area's rural character, where early industry and settlement patterns remain visible through the placement of original homestead roads and water management features.
