2015 Map of Manchester

About this map

The Meramec River carves a winding path through the southern half of this suburban Missouri landscape, separating the dense residential grids of Ballwin and Manchester from the protected wooded hills of the Beaumont Reservation. This 2015 study captures a region of significant elevation change, where established settlements like Ellisville and Winchester sit on high ground above the river valley's complex topography. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including the Saint Johns Cemetery and the Peterson Cemetery. The southern section reveals a more secluded character, defined by Tyson Hollow and Mincke Hollow, alongside an extensive network of recreational paths such as the Chubb Trail and the Al Foster Trail. These trails often follow the river's edge, connecting the small riverfront communities of Sherman and Jedburgh to the larger parklands.
