2011 Map of Manning

About this map

Manning serves as the primary hub in this Dunn County landscape, situated where Wolf Creek joins the Knife River. The 2011 survey reveals a vast, structured grid of section-line roads, including 112th Ave SW and 20th St SW, which facilitate movement across the agricultural terrain. The hydrology is dominated by the meandering paths of Crooked Creek and Lighting Creek, which cut through the northern Great Plains topography. This map documents the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing how modern transportation routes like State Highway 22 follow the natural contours of the river valleys while maintaining the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System.
