1954 Map of Manchester
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Meramec River winds through the southern half of this mid-century landscape, carving a deep valley that separates the Crescent Hills from the developing suburbs of St. Louis County. At this time, communities like Ballwin, Ellisville, and Manchester appear as emerging hubs along Manchester Road, while the riverside is dotted with recreation spots and smaller settlements such as Castlewood and Lincoln Beach. The presence of the St Louis Ordnance Plant and a Gravel Pit near Jedburgh reflects the era's industrial activity, contrasting with the many rural schools and cemeteries that served established families.
