2012 Map of Manchester

About this map

Batten Kill LN valley defines the central corridor of this survey, where the river and its branches move through a landscape of historic Vermont villages and mountain gaps. The area shows a high density of ancestral burial grounds, including the Old Catholic Cem and Saint Jeromes Cem in the north near East Dorset, and the large Dellwood Cem to the south. Along the eastern slopes of Mount Aeolus and Mother Myrick Mountain, the map documents the transition from early industrial and agricultural settlements to recreation, featuring the Manchester Golf Course and the Hildene Winter Sports Area. Small community clusters like South Dorset, Barnumville, and Richville are mapped with precision, showing the layout of local roads and family-named cemeteries such as the Oreb Taylor Family Cem and Roberts Family Cem that provide valuable data for regional genealogy.
