1980 Map of Morton Mills

About this map

Morton Mills sits at the confluence of Sevenmile Creek and the West Nodaway River, serving as a focal point for this agrarian landscape on the border of Montgomery and Adams Counties. The river system dictates the settlement pattern, with smaller hamlets like Sciola and Tenville following the winding valley floor. Further east, the Middle Nodaway River cuts across the southern reach of Lincoln and Douglas townships, passing near the cluster of Dickieville. Significant genealogical sites are noted throughout the uplands, including Lincoln Center Cem and the Strand Ch, which provide a record of the community's early social foundations. The map also documents modern infrastructure cutting through the traditional farm plots, such as the major pipelines traversing the northern townships of Douglas and Lincoln.
