The county history of 1911 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 40 fires within 5 miles of Mantua between 2009 and 2020, burning about 166 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• College Hill
• Indian Camp
• Boden
• Flat Ridge
• Oldham
• Abledell

Museums hold 259 specimens collected within 10 miles of Mantua between 1875 and 1972: 131 Fungi, 64 Animalia, 60 Plantae, 2 Unrecorded, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, W., Adams, W. (William), Adams, W.; Adams, S. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
