1965 Map of Manchester

About this map

Manchester occupies a significant bend in the river valley, where the hydrology of the Sun River shapes the local landscape. The topography transitions sharply from the level plains of the Sun River Bench down into a complex riparian corridor marked by numerous springs, including Newman Spring, and old oxbow features like Horseshoe Lake. The infrastructure of the mid-20th century is well-documented here, showing a mix of utility and community spaces ranging from the Sewage Disposal Ponds to the Sunset Memorial Gardens cemetery.
