1962 Map of Moreland

About this map

The southern slopes of Carrion Crow Mountain overlook the developed settlement of Atkins, marking a sharp transition from the elevated peaks of Iron Ore Mountain and Griffin Ridge to the lowlands of the Wilson and Gum Log districts. This 1962 survey illustrates a landscape deeply defined by its community infrastructure, with an exceptionally high density of rural churches and cemeteries such as Shady Grove Ch, St Joseph Ch, and Hudson Cem. Smaller rural hubs like Moreland and Economy are connected by a network of winding roads and local drainages including Isabell Creek and Clear Creek. The inclusion of a Quarry and various gravel pits indicates a local economy tied to the land's geological resources during the early 1960s, while family-named landmarks like Mars Hill and Sugg Cem provide invaluable touchpoints for genealogists.
