2018 Map of Moulton

About this map

Moulton serves as the primary hub of this southern Iowa landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes in Appanoose County. The town's grid is well-defined by streets such as W Broadway St and W 5th St, reflecting its historical development as a regional center. To the north, the small community of Orleans sits near the headwaters of S Fox Cr, while Dean occupies the southern reach of the quadrangle near the Chariton River. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including N Fabius River and Carter Cr, creating a rolling topography that has influenced the placement of numerous family and community burial grounds. Genealogists will find a high density of these sites, including Hardin Cem, Sunnyview Cem, and the uniquely neighboring Otterbien Cem and Otterbein South Cem in the west, which preserve the names of the area's early settlers and their distinct family lineages.
