1979 Map of Troy

About this map

Troy serves as the focal point of this orthophotoquad, which captures the Lincoln County landscape through rectified aerial imagery. The settlement patterns of the late 1970s are clearly visible, showcasing the residential and commercial expansion of the town alongside the winding course of the Cuivre River. To the southeast, the smaller community of Moscow Mills appears at a strategic bend in the river, highlighting the historic reliance on these waterways for early industry and transport. The imagery is overlaid with traditional land lines, including the north-south alignment of the Fifth Principal Meridian, which dictates the region's surveying history. Further south, Big Creek meanders through a mix of dense woodlots and agricultural fields, revealing the environmental transition between the river bottoms and the surrounding Missouri uplands.
