2010 Map of Manly

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Worth County centers on the town of Manly, which serves as a notable hub along the north-south transport corridor. The grid of country roads, including N Broadway St and Olive Ave, connects smaller settlements like Kensett and Plymouth across a terrain defined by the winding course of the Shell Rock River and its tributaries, such as Beaver Creek and Elk Creek. This 2010 survey highlights a significant concentration of local heritage sites, particularly in the density of rural burial grounds. Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through the many named cemeteries, from the larger Manly Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery to smaller or more specialized plots like Brystol Farm Cemetery, Wise Cemetery, and Bohemian Cemetery. Together, these features document the persistent structure of Iowa's farming communities and the centers of civic life like the Manly Post Office.
