1954 Map of Manchester

About this map

The Meramec River winds through the southern half of this landscape, carving a path between the Crescent Hills and the residential growth pushing outward from Manchester. In the mid-1950s, the corridor along Manchester Road served as a primary artery connecting established communities like Ellisville and Ballwin. This period captures the area's transition from rural Missouri farmstead sites to suburban expansion, evidenced by the numerous schools such as Sulphur Springs Sch and religious centers like St Johns Ch.
