1949 Map of Manchester

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Manchester and the surrounding rural communities of Walker County appear here during the late 1940s, a period when the landscape was defined by coal mining and agricultural life. The meandering path of Blackwater Creek serves as a central geographical feature, winding past Brakefield Bend and under the Johnsey Bridge. The presence of a Strip Mine near Marigold points to the area's industrial importance, while numerous country churches and schools like Thatch Jr High Sch and Lamons Chapel anchor the social fabric of these small settlements.
