1960 Map of Olean

About this map

Olean sits at the intersection of rail and river commerce along the Missouri Pacific line and the banks of Bluthe Creek. This 1960 field-checked survey reveals a landscape split between the farming townships of Harrison, Burris Fork, and Saline, where small-scale industry like the Tiff Mine and a local Quarry dot the countryside. The map serves as a detailed record for genealogists, capturing numerous family burial grounds including Walker Cem, Gray Cem, and Hill Cem, alongside community centers such as High Point and Rock Enon Ch. To the north, Medlen Creek and the Fish Hatchery illustrate the area's managed water resources. The terrain is defined by the winding course of South Moreau Creek, which serves as a natural boundary between Moniteau and Miller Counties.
