2018 Map of Manchester

About this map

Manchester and Murrayville anchor this portion of the Illinois landscape where the borders of Scott, Morgan, and Greene Counties converge. The topography is defined by the drainage systems of N Little Sandy Cr and Little Sandy Cr, which carve through the agricultural uplands. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Old Manchester Cem, the Manchester Cem, and Murrayville Cem, alongside the more isolated Bethel Cem and Canatsey Cem. The road network is a mix of established routes like Woodson Winchester Rd and local connectors such as Sellars Rd and Birdsell Rd. This survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where small-town centers remain tied to the surrounding creek bottoms of Henry Cr and Marks Cr.
