2023 Map of Manchester

About this map

Manchester sits at a critical junction of the River Raisin, where the watercourse snakes through the southern half of the quadrangle near the Saint Mary's Catholic Cem and Oak Grove Cem. The landscape to the north is defined by the Sharon-Short Hills, a region of complex glacial topography dotted with small water bodies like Tisch Lake and Mill Pond. The small settlement of Sharon Hollow remains a distinct point of interest along the river, illustrating the historical pattern of development tied to Michigan's inland waterways. Numerous burial sites, including the Sharon Hollow Cem and Sharon Lutheran Cem, are distributed throughout the township, providing essential coordinates for genealogical research. Transportation remains anchored by MI State Road 52, which serves as the primary north-south corridor connecting the village center to the rural uplands.
