2017 Map of Manning

About this map

Manning serves as the central hub of this Clarendon County landscape, where the street grid of the county seat transitions into a network of outlying agricultural crossroads and wetlands. The surrounding area is defined by the winding course of the Pocotaligo River and the expansive Big Bay to the north, creating a terrain dominated by low-lying water features such as Fox Swamp, Gum Pond, and Harvin Pond. Small settlements like Alcolu, Bloomville, and James Crossroads anchor the rural landscape, connected by thoroughfares such as Old Georgetown Rd and Bloomville Rd. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds including Manning Cem and Trinity Cem, while the Palmetto Air Plantation Airport provides a distinct landmark to the west of the city. The map reveals how the modern transportation corridors of Interstate 95 and US Highway 301 bisect the older plantation-era geography and natural drainage basins of the South Carolina coastal plain.
