1963 Map of Manning

About this map

Manning and Shawnee Prairie stand as central points of interest in this survey of southeastern Angelina County. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Angelina National Forest and an intricate drainage system including Buck Creek, Caney Creek, and Shawnee Creek. Traces of the region's industrial past are preserved through the identification of an Old RR Grade and Old Railroad Grade that once served the lumber industry, alongside the active Southern Pacific line. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as Treadwell Cem, Carrell Cem, and Renfro Cem. Religious life in these rural communities is anchored by Salem Ch and James Chapel, while local topography is noted by elevations like Lala Hill and Bill Hill.
