1965 Map of Muldoon

About this map

Muldoon serves as a central hub in Fayette County during the mid-1960s, defined by the diagonal passage of the Southern Pacific railroad. The landscape is a patchwork of wooded creek bottoms and cleared fields, where the local economy transitions from traditional agriculture toward resource extraction. The presence of Muldoon Field and a scattered Strip Mine and Gravel Pit indicate an active industrial layer atop the rural terrain. Genealogy researchers will find several localized landmarks, including the Pitman Cem and Black Jack Springs Cem, which anchor the small settlements of Floy and Marly. Distinctive features such as a Charcoal Oven and a small Landing Area north of Live Oak Creek offer specific insights into the land use patterns and small-scale infrastructure of the period, while numerous waterways like Buckners Creek and Pin Oak Creek define the area's natural drainage.
