About this map

Manchester sits prominently along the northern bank of the Ohio River, serving as a central point of activity for this riverfront landscape. The river itself is punctuated by Manchester Island Number 1 and Manchester Island Number 2, which define the channel near the Twin Islands Campground. This 2010 survey shows a region where small settlements like Bentonville, Trinity, and Fearisville are linked by a network of winding roads through various hollows and bottoms.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the detailed plotting of burial grounds, including the Manchester Second Street Cemetery, Odd Fellows Cemetery, and the Cedar Leaf Cemetery. The map also captures several points of river infrastructure, such as Wells Landing and the Quicks Run Light, indicating the ongoing importance of navigation. Uplands like Chalk Ridge and Big Brier Knob rise above the many drainages, including Crooked Creek and Isaacs Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns of Adams County.
