1945 Map of Manchester
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Meramec River carves a winding path through this mid-century landscape, anchoring a series of riverside settlements and recreational sites. Along the northern tier, the established communities of Manchester, Ballwin, and Ellisville follow the alignment of Manchester Road, reflecting the steady expansion of western St. Louis County. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the river's rugged curves and the industrial footprints of the St Louis San Francisco and Missouri Pacific railroads. Notable local landmarks include the planned community of Times Beach and the riverfront areas of Castlewood and Fern Glen. Local history is preserved through scattered rural education sites like Oak Ridge Sch and Alt Sch, while natural features such as Sontags Spring and Cedar Bluff highlight the area's diverse topography before later suburban development fully transformed the corridor.
