2021 Map of Manchester

About this map

Manchester sits at a geographic crossroads in the Taconic and Green Mountains, where the valley of the Batten Kill provides a historic transit corridor. This survey captures the distinct clusters of Manchester Center, Manchester Depot, and the higher-elevation settlements of East Dorset and South Dorset. The landscape is dominated by the massive profile of Equinox Mtn to the west and the heights of Mt Aeolus and Owls Head to the north, creating a dramatic valley floor for the local agriculture and timber industries. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Dellwood Cem and the Roberts Family Cem, are meticulously marked, offering valuable data for genealogists. The map also delineates the extensive reach of the Green Mountain National Forest, highlighting the enduring balance between the working mountain landscape and the established valley towns.
