2018 Map of Manhattan

About this map

The village of Manhattan serves as a central hub in this section of Will County, situated where a grid of rural roads meets the residential expansion of the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Jackson Creek and Prairie Creek, which drain the prairie lands between established settlements. To the north, the growth of New Lenox and Frankfort is evident, while the map also preserves smaller, localized identifiers such as Spencer, Brisbane, and Wilton. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several significant landmarks, including the Saint Joseph Cemetery near the heart of Manhattan and the Manhattan Center Cemetery to the east. Farther southeast, the Green Garden Methodist Church stands near the junction of several section lines, marking a point of long-standing community gathering in this agricultural region.
