2018 Map of Manchester

About this map

The agrarian landscape of the Kansas prairie unfolds across this detailed survey of northern Dickinson County. Small rural centers such as Manchester and Talmage anchor a network of section-line roads and family-owned parcels, highlighting the persistent grid system of the Great Plains. The hydrology of the region is defined by the winding paths of Mud Creek and Buckeye Creek, which cut through the undulating terrain. Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic burial grounds, including Keystone Cemetery in the northeast and White Cloud Cemetery further west. The county line separating Ottawa County and Dickinson County runs along the western edge, near where Solomon Road follows the natural contours of the valley. This map provides a clear view of the modern road infrastructure, from 3600 Avenue down to 2800 Avenue, capturing the transition of these small farming communities into the early 21st century.
