2012 Map of Moselle

About this map

The Bourbeuse River snakes across this Franklin County landscape, creating a dramatic series of loops and bends that define the local geography between Pohlman Mill and the southern settlement of Moselle. This 2012 survey illustrates a region where academic and civil infrastructure, such as East Central College and the Saint Clair Regional Airport, exists alongside deeply rooted local landmarks. Evidence of early settlement patterns remains visible through several rural burial grounds, including the Pleasant Hill Cemetery near Villa Ridge and the Indian Prairie Cemetery situated further south. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Dubois Creek, Birch Creek, and Browns Branch feeding into the larger river systems. At Villa Ridge, the presence of the Villa Ridge Post Office and several water towers highlights the area's role as a local service hub for the surrounding countryside.
