Nearest Communities to Manzanar,
Listed County-By-County
The purpose of this page is to identify those communities that are closest to Manzanar, on a County-by-County basis. To explain further, let's use the example from the Genealogy Helper Page for Manzanar:
We have great-grandparents who lived in a small community in the southwest corner of their home county. During their lives, most hospitals were in the next county to the west. Almost all of the nearby churches and cemeteries were in the county to the south.
When doing our research, we make it a practice to expand our search by looking in neighboring counties in addition to the county in which they lived: their home county contained property and probate records; the county to the west contained birth and death records; the county to the south contained their burial records. If we hadn't checked the neighboring counties, we would have missed many valuable sources of information.
Keep in mind that when we give a distance, it's a 'straight-line' distance.<1>

Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Manzanar) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. |
| <2> | Manzanar is also known as Manzanar Station. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Manzanar. |
| <3> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Manzanar, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
