1963 Map of Manning

About this map

Manning sits at the heart of this East Texas landscape, where the industry of the early 20th century left a distinct mark on the terrain of Angelina National Forest. The presence of the Millpond and a network of Old Railroad Grades radiating from the settlement suggests a history tied closely to timber production and local milling. To the north, the small community of Shawnee Prairie serves as a secondary focal point, surrounded by family-named landmarks like Bill Hill and multiple rural houses of worship including Salem Ch and Vines Chapel.
