1949 Map of Manchester

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of rural education landmarks, from Irwin Sch in the north to Wooden Sch in the south, reflecting a distributed farming society. Distinctive community hubs like Sharon Hollow and Manchester show the concentration of early industry near water power, such as the Iron Mill Pond. The map also captures the recreational growth of the era at Hayes State Park and Vineyard Park, showing the early 20th-century transition of these lakeside areas into seasonal destinations.
