About this map

Mound City serves as the focal point of this Linn County landscape, where the town's grid is established south of Little Sugar Creek. The map documents a rural environment deeply connected to the winding paths of Big Sugar Creek and Hazel Branch. Local institutions define the community's layout, from the County Fairground and High Sch in the south to the Gaging Station near Farlinville in the north.

Extensive industrial activity is evident through the widespread Oil Field and Gas Field designations, along with a Strip Mine located in the southeastern quadrant. Transportation history is preserved in the form of an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the eastern terrain. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Linnville Cem, Fairbanks Cem, and Fisher Cem, which often represent the only remaining markers of earlier settlement clusters like Linnville Sch.
