2018 Map of Manchester

About this map

The Maquoketa River winds through the heart of Manchester, serving as the primary geographical anchor for this section of Delaware County. The town layout is clearly defined by its historic street grid, including W Main St and E Main St, which transition into rural routes as they leave the municipal center. The surrounding landscape is a patchwork of agricultural sections, marked by an unusually high density of small family and township burial grounds. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of these sites, from Oakland Cem and Saint Marys Cem near the town center to more remote locations like Sands Farm Cem and Milo Township Cem to the south. Further north, the Manchester Municipal Airport and the confluence of Coffins Creek with the river show the evolution of local transportation and drainage patterns in this Iowa community.
