About this map

Manville sits at the intersection of the Chicago and North Western railroad and the Niobrara River valley in Niobrara County. This 1981 survey reveals a landscape shaped by water and transport, where the river's path is closely shadowed by the rail line. To the east of the settlement, the Dellview Cemetery serves as a significant landmark for local history and genealogical research.

The northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by more complex topography, including the Hat Creek Breaks and several intermittent drainages such as Woman Creek and Quinn Creek. Numerous water sources like Kelly Spring and various unnamed Springs and Wells are documented across the plains, indicating the critical nature of water management for the ranching and agricultural operations of this Wyoming region.
