2021 Map of Manhattan

About this map

Manhattan serves as a focal point in this southern Will County landscape, showing the transition from concentrated residential blocks to the open agrarian expanses of the Illinois prairie. The village is anchored by local history markers like Saint Joseph Cem and the Manhattan Center Cem, while further south, Wilton sits near the headwaters of Forked Cr. To the north and east, the growing suburban footprints of New Lenox, Mokena, and Frankfort reach into former farmland, as evidenced by the dense network of new residential streets like Golden Gate Dr and Sierra Ridge. The drainage patterns of Jackson Cr and Prairie Cr provide the primary natural relief across the level terrain, illustrating the persistent importance of these watercourses in a region defined by its productive soil and expanding rail-and-road corridors.
