1969 Map of Moselle

About this map

The Bourbeuse River winds through the heart of this Franklin County landscape, creating dramatic loops that defined the early property boundaries and settlement patterns in Central and Union townships. During this era of transition in the late 1960s, the map documents significant infrastructure shifts, most notably the highway sections marked Under Const and 4 Lane that would soon reshape local travel. These modern corridors contrast with the historic rail lines of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the St Louis-San Francisco, which served established communities like Villa Ridge and Moselle.
