2003 Map of Manning

About this map

Manning lies at the heart of this East Texas timberland, where the presence of a Millpond and Club Lake indicates the area's industrial and recreational history within the Angelina National Forest. The landscape is a network of small drainages including Buck Creek, Caney Creek, and Shawnee Creek, which define the settlement patterns of rural communities like Shawnee Prairie. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally well-marked with family and community burial sites, including the Salem Ch Treadwell Cem, Garrett Cem, Renfro Cem, and Shawnee Creek Cem. These landmarks, along with small country churches such as James Chapel and Lala Hill Ch, provide a clear view of the social geography of Angelina County. The terrain is characterized by modest rises like Bill Hill and Lala Hill, surrounded by a dense web of forestry roads and local routes like Ozias Road and B W Horton Road.
