1979 Map of Manchester
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Ballwin and Ellisville dominate the upper half of this orthophotoquad, showing the dense residential suburbanization of western St. Louis County during the late 1970s. The aerial imagery captures a distinct transition from these closely-packed neighborhoods to the more complex, wooded terrain surrounding the Meramec River to the south. Along the river’s winding course, the map documents the established layouts of Manchester and Valley Park, as well as the grid-like streets of Times Beach before its later evacuation. By combining photo imagery from 1979 with cadastral lines from a 1954 topographic base, the document provides a unique layered view of post-war development and the natural topography of the river basin.
