2017 Map of Manchester

About this map

Manchester occupies the northern edge of this Kingsbury County landscape, situated where the glacial highlands of the Coteau des Prairies meet the plains. The terrain is defined by the wandering path of Redstone Cr, which drains a complex network of wetlands and seasonal basins common to this part of the Dakota prairie. This area remains primarily defined by its original township divisions and a strict grid of section roads like Stephen St and 208th St. Local history is anchored by the presence of Manchester Cem and Dow Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the families who settled this region. The map preserves the spatial arrangement of a late-20th-century agricultural community, showing the relationship between the small settlement and the surrounding township lines.
