Mozier and Mozier Landing are two distinct points a few miles apart along the Illinois River bluffs, not a duplicate entry; both have carried the Mozier name on maps for over a century. Several other names on the list — Marshall Landing, Turner Landing and Belleview — are historic steamboat landings rather than settlements with a defined center, typical of the county’s river-edge geography.<\/p>\n
