1972 Map of Moodys

About this map

The Illinois River winds through the eastern portion of this quadrant, defining a landscape marked by steep bluffs and deep hollows in Cherokee County. Local life in the early 1970s centered on small settlements like Moodys and Lowrey, where the Lowrey Sch and numerous country churches provided community anchors. The map reveals a dense network of small religious sites, including Johnson Prairie Ch, Grace Chapel, and Olive Ch, alongside family and community burial grounds such as Agent Cem. Along the river, landmarks like Hanging Rock and Eagles Bluff overlook the water, while the Combs Bridge provides a vital crossing point. Further west, the drainage of Fourteenmile Creek and Spring Creek creates a more rolling terrain where the hamlet of Teresita is situated near the Teresita Cem.
