Quick answer
Their territory ran from Mahanaim over all Bashan, the whole kingdom of Og, including the sixty towns of Jair.
Overview
The eastern half of Manasseh received the vast and fertile region of Bashan. The 'towns of Jair' (Havvoth Jair) were named for a descendant of Manasseh who had captured them (Numbers 32:41). This wide inheritance displays God's abundant generosity to His people.
