2024 Map of Manning

About this map

Manning serves as the focal point of this Dunn County landscape, situated where Wolf Creek meets the Knife River. As the county seat, the town is anchored by the Dunn County Court House, which stands near the intersection of the region's section-line road network. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of several seasonal and permanent waterways, including Crooked Creek in the south and Lightning Creek to the southeast. Outside the small residential cluster of the town, the map reveals a sparsely populated agricultural environment organized by the Public Land Survey System. Genealogists will find the Manning Cem located just southwest of the main settlement, providing a primary point for local family history research. The layout of rural routes like 12th St SW and 113th Ave SW illustrates the grid-based settlement pattern characteristic of the North Dakota plains.
