1964 Map of Lineville

About this map

Lineville and South Lineville straddle the state line in this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a unique community divided between Iowa and Missouri. The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad serves as the primary north-south axis, connecting these settlements with Mercer to the south. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Weldon River and the Grand River, which cut through the drainage basins of Sand Creek and Mineral Springs Branch. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Evergreen Cemetery, Girdner Cem, and Logan Cem, many of which appear alongside small homesteads and family farms. The inclusion of a Gaging Station on the river and a Substation near Mercer highlights the essential infrastructure supporting these border-region agricultural communities during this era of rural development.
