1981 Map of Columbus

About this map

The Quincy Municipal Airport (Baldwin Field) serves as a prominent modern landmark in this Illinois landscape, which remains deeply tied to its rural townships. The map details the intersection of Gilmer, Columbus, and Burton townships, where the terrain is carved by the drainages of McKee Creek, Mill Creek, and Lick Creek. These waterways dictate the placement of local infrastructure and older settlements like the community of Burton and the crossroads at Five Points.
