1964 Map of Moville

About this map

The town of Moville serves as the primary hub of this Woodbury County landscape, characterized by the winding path of the West Fork Little Sioux River and its various tributaries. In the mid-1960s, the community’s layout was defined by its relationship to the Chicago and North Western railroad line and the presence of civic landmarks like the Fairground and Arlington Cem. The terrain outside the settlement is dominated by the drainage basins of Mud Creek and Wolf Creek, showing a pattern of rural land use punctuated by small-scale industrial features such as a Gravel Pit. This survey captures the transition of the Iowa countryside during an era of established rail transport and emerging highway infrastructure, providing a clear record of local landmarks like the Sewage Disposal plant and the nearby Campground.
