2017 Map of Manila North

About this map

The Little River meanders along the eastern edge of this landscape, defining a wetland corridor marked by distinctive terrain features like Gun Island and Tims Point. This region on the Arkansas-Missouri border is characterized by an extensive network of engineered waterways, including Buffalo Ditch Number 1 and Dredge Boat Creek Ditch Number 12, which enabled the agricultural development of the flat Mississippi River delta. These canals cut through a grid of rural roads and small communities such as Buckeye, Garson, and Arkmo. The southern portion of the map centers on the town of Manila, where the Manila Municipal Airport and street grids of E Olympia Ave represent the primary hub of activity. Local history is further preserved at sites like Box Elder Cem near the state line, serving as a record of the families who settled this fertile, reclaimed bottomland.
