The hamlet is at the western edge of, and partially within, the [[Long Island Central Pine Barrens]]. The land is heavily wooded, and features some wetlands, particularly in the northern section near the [[Peconic River]].  Much of the northeastern portion of the hamlet is in the Pine Barrens' "Core Preservation Area", where no further development is allowed.  This area also serves as a primary source for Long Island's groundwater preserve.

Manorville is in the center of [[Long Island]] with no access to the water.  It lies partially on the Ronkonkoma terminal [[moraine]], which creates some slightly rolling topography, especially in the central portion of the hamlet.  The glacial topography of the area features several [[Kettle (landform)|kettle hole]] ponds, the most well-known of which is Punk's Hole,<ref name="newshist">{{cite web |title=Manorville A Patriot Haven and Cranberry Heaven |url=http://www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-historytown-hist004k,0,6851910.story?coll=ny-lihistory-navigation |publisher=Newsday |access-date=March 27, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060518053313/http://www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-historytown-hist004k,0,6851910.story?coll=ny-lihistory-navigation |archive-date=May 18, 2006}}</ref> where a [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]] captain was rumored to have hid from the British.
