One of the finest of the oak-upland districts of the South

divide between the Sabine and Red Rivers, and on this
divide Mansfield is located. On the Red River side the
country is hilly, and very productive in the valleys between
the Dolette Hills. Lakes and bayous are numerous, and
skirt the river bottomlands on the west. Of the total
area, 856, square miles, there are 836 of oak-uplands,
60 of red-lands, and 20 square miles of Red River bottom

with a clay foundation, well timbered with every variety
of oak, hickory, pine, ash, beech, gum, etc., and well
watered, either by springs or wells.
