2017 Map of Manning

About this map

Manning sits at the heart of this Dunn County landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding prairie homesteads and grazing lands. The settlement is positioned near the banks of the Knife River, which meanders across the northeast portion of the survey. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of several seasonal watercourses, including Wolf Cr, Crooked Cr, and Lighting Cr, which carve subtle valleys through the high plains. For those tracing family history in the region, the Manning Cem is a primary landmark located just east of the main town site. The map reflects a modern rural infrastructure of numbered section-line roads, such as 112th Ave SW and 12th St SW, which maintain the grid system established by the early Public Land Survey System. This record captures the quiet, persistent character of a North Dakota ranching community in the early twenty-first century.
