1960 Map of Morenci

About this map

Bean Creek serves as a central artery for this borderland landscape, winding southward past Morenci toward the Michigan Ohio state line. The area exhibits a dense network of rural infrastructure typical of the mid-20th century, where local life centered around points like Oak Grove Cemetery and the Riverside Park. The intersection of the Penn Central and the Detroit Toledo and Ironton railroads underscores the importance of rail transit for small agricultural hubs during this period.
