1964 Map of Poyen

About this map

Poyen serves as the primary hub of this rural Grant County landscape, situated near the intersection of several significant waterways including Big Creek and Francois Creek. The mid-century settlement pattern is defined by small communities such as Rhinehart and Lenham, alongside rural religious and memorial sites like Big Creek Ch and Lutheran Cem. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of drainage branches, notably Thunder Branch and Buck Branch, which influenced the placement of early road networks like Sulphur Springs Road. Local industry and recreation are represented by several Sandpits and Gravel Pits, as well as the Malvern Country Club in the western section. These details offer a clear view of the area's transition between agricultural life and local resource extraction during the 1960s, with updates reflecting later development through the early 1980s.
