2018 Map of Manly

About this map

Manly serves as the central hub of this north-central Iowa landscape, where a precise grid of rural roads meets the junction of regional rail lines. The town's layout, defined by streets like W Main St and W North St, sits just north of the Worth Co Cerro Gordo Co line. This agricultural territory is etched by the meandering courses of the Shell Rock River and Beaver Cr, which break the regularity of the section lines. For family historians, the map is particularly detailed, pinpointing several small burial sites including the Overholt Family Plot and the Brystol Farm Cem. Further south, the settlement of Plymouth appears near the Bohemian Cem and Oakwood Cem, illustrating the settlement patterns of early farming communities in the region.
