2010 Map of Manilla

About this map

Manilla and the surrounding agricultural lands of Rush County appear here in a transition between traditional rural life and modern development. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and drainage ditches essential for local farming, including the Flatrock River, Little Blue River, and Conns Creek. Historically significant family names are preserved throughout the area in the form of numerous small burial grounds such as Sells Cemetery, Bebout Cemetery, and the uniquely named Radar-Bowman-Worland Cemetery. The small settlements of Homer and Gowdy serve as focal points for this region, connected by a rigid grid of county roads. These thoroughfares, such as W Base Rd and S Angling Rd, follow the natural contours and established property lines, reflecting the organized settlement patterns of this Indiana heartland.
