2013 Map of Manilla

About this map

Manilla and Homer serve as the primary hubs for this agricultural landscape in Rush County, where the settlement pattern follows a rigid grid of rural routes. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including the Little Blue River in the northwest and the Flatrock River in the southeast. Named waterways like Conns Cr and Homer Run are augmented by numerous man-made channels such as Arbuckle Ditch and McGinnis Ditch, reflecting a highly engineered drainage system essential for the region's farming economy. Near the center of the map, the Webster Airport provides a small aviation waypoint, while S Hurst Cemetery Rd points toward local genealogical landmarks. The small community of Gowdy sits to the south, connected to the larger villages by a web of local roads that have maintained the county's rural character into the early 21st century.
