1962 Map of Moline

About this map

The town of Moline serves as the hub of this rural landscape, situated at the intersection of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and local trade routes. The 1960s terrain reflects a balanced economy of agriculture and extraction, notably marked by a large Quarry in the northeast and numerous oil wells dotting the hillsides. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems including Wildcat Creek and Bakers Branch, which flow through the designated districts of Wild Cat, Greenfield, and Elk Falls. Local social foundations are anchored by sites like Belknap Ch, Belknap Sch, and the Townhall. In the north, Santa Fe Lake provides a significant water source near the town's industrial infrastructure, such as the Sewage Disposal and Substation.
