2010 Map of Manning

About this map

Manning serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Carroll County, where the West Nishnabotna River winds through the southwestern plains. The town's infrastructure is well-defined by the Manning Post Office and Manning Municipal Airport, while the surrounding rural township is marked by a grid of local roads like Concord Ave and Birch Ave. Historically significant sites for genealogists include the Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery, Manning Cemetery, and the Iowa Township Cemetery located further west near Elk Creek. This survey captures the transition of the region's transport network, including the rail-aligned corridor passing through the settlement of Adena. The drainage patterns of Malony Branch and other local waterways illustrate the natural topography that dictated the placement of early homesteads and farmsteads.
