1964 Map of Moss

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the center of this landscape, marking a historical divide near the junction of Jasper Co and Jones Co. The Gulf Central Illinois railroad serves the small community at Moss (Mossville Sta), which functions as a central point for the surrounding rural homesteads. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Terrapin Creek, Tallahoma Creek, and Cypress Creek, which dictate the placement of local roads and religious centers. Notable community landmarks such as the Union Seminary and its associated Union Seminary Ch illustrate the local emphasis on education and faith. Further south, the settlement of Shady Grove and its Shady Grove Cem anchor the social geography, while scattered extractive sites like the Claypit and Oil Well reflect the area's mid-century natural resource economy.
