About this map

Moberly functions as a bustling railroad hub in the early 1950s, defined by the intersection of the Wabash and Missouri-Kansas-Texas lines. This survey captures a dense civic landscape, featuring an extensive network of neighborhood schools like the Lincoln Sch and Sisters of Loretto Sch, alongside higher education at Moberly Jr College. The town's infrastructure is well-established, with the Hospital, Water Tank, and the Omar N Bradley Airport serving the growing community.

Industrial activity surrounds the urban core, with several Strip Mines, Quarries, and Mine Dumps visible to the west and north. Natural features like Sugar Creek Lake and Rothwell Park offer contrast to the industrial zones, while rural life is marked by outlying schools such as Terrill Sch and Cottage Grove Sch. The map also meticulously labels numerous burial grounds, including Oakland Cem and Daskin Cem, providing valuable data for local genealogical research.
