2013 Map of North Manchester North

About this map

North Manchester anchors the southern edge of this landscape, situated at a bend in the Eel River. This 2013 survey illustrates the interface between the growing residential streets of Briarwood and the expansive agricultural lands of Kosciusko and Wabash Counties. The northern half of the map is defined by a complex drainage system, where Trimble Creek, Plunge Creek, and the winding Swank Creek meander through fields. Small, localized landmarks like Beigh Lake and the Peabody Memorial Home provide specific points of interest for local researchers. The transition from the rural crossroads at Packerton to the organized town grid in the south highlights the persistent importance of early transportation routes, such as S Packerton Rd, which link these small agricultural hubs to the larger riverfront community.
