2021 Map of Manchester

About this map

Manchester and Murrayville anchor this western Illinois landscape, where the tri-county boundaries of Scott, Morgan, and Greene counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including N Little Sandy Cr and the winding Little Sandy Cr, which have historically shaped the agricultural parceling and road placement in the region. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notably rich in burial sites, featuring the Old Manchester Cem and Manchester Cem near the town center, along with the Murrayville Cem and Bethel Cem to the north and east. The road system, from the primary Main St to rural routes like Woodson Winchester Rd, follows a rigid section-line grid that occasionally yields to the meandering paths of Marks Cr and Birch Cr.
