For differential equations with state-dependent delays the associated initial value problem is well-posed, with differentiable solution operators, on submanifolds of the space $ C^1_n=C^1([-r,0],\mathbb{R}^n) $, under mild smoothness assumptions. We study these solution manifolds and find that for a large class of equations their solution manifolds are nearly as simple as a graph over the subspace $ X_0\subset C^1_n $ defined by $ \phi'(0)=0 $. The result supplements recent work on finite atlases of solution manifolds and is related to the open problem whether in some cases the constructed atlases are minimal.
