Manor’s center stands about 530 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 470 ft to 640 ft, a difference of 170 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Martin Hill, about 940 ft, 12 miles northwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Navarro and Taylor Groups, undivided (siltstone-mudstone), from the Late Cretaceous, 66 to 100 million years old.
The section below crosses 7 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 36×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Siltstone-mudstone. Age: Late Cretaceous, 66 to 100 million years old. About 7 mi of the line.
Marlstone, chalk. Age: Late Cretaceous, 66 to 100 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Gravel. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Clay, sand. Age: Paleocene to Eocene, 34 to 66 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Claystone. Age: Paleocene, 56 to 66 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Claystone. Age: Late Cretaceous, 66 to 72 million years old. About 0.5 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Manor reaches the Gulf of America by way of Wilbarger Creek and the Colorado: about 270 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Manor; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
