2017 Map of Manchester

About this map

Manchester and the residential layout of Sun Prairie define the human geography of this Cascade County landscape along the winding course of the Sun River. The settlement pattern shows a distinct transition from the grid-like streets of Sun Prairie, featuring names like Adams Blvd and Eisenhower Ave, to the more expansive agricultural and irrigation infrastructure to the east. The S Manchester Lateral indicates the importance of water management in this region, supporting the farms and ranches surrounding the Sun River Bench. Local heritage is anchored by the Manchester Cem, while the natural hydrologic features of the area are represented by Horseshoe Lake and Newman Spring. Transportation is dominated by the modern corridor of Vaughn S Frontage Rd, which parallels the main thoroughfare through the river valley.
