1972 Map of Manchester

About this map

The Old Stone Fort State Park highlights the confluence of the Duck River and Little Duck River, where prehistoric earthworks meet the modern expansion of Manchester. This 1972 revision illustrates a community in transition, with established neighborhoods like Westwood Homes and Royal Oaks bordering the massive Arnold Engineering Development Center. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Wildlife Management Area and the unique ecological landscape of The Barrens, interspersed with isolated water features such as Sinking Pond and Lemm Swamp.
