2015 Map of Manning

About this map

Manning sits at the intersection of a vast grid of section roads in this high plains region of western Kansas. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of the Middle Fork Walnut Cr and its northern branch, N Fork Middle Fork Walnut Cr, which carve subtle depressions through the agricultural land. In the northeast corner, the settlement of Healy provides a secondary focal point, showing the distribution of rural residences and infrastructure along the county line. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation documents the modern township and range layout, where roads like Scott Lane Co Rd and N Venison Rd follow strict section lines, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in Scott County. Smaller water features such as W Salt Cr further illustrate the drainage patterns of this semi-arid environment.
