2024 Map of Golconda
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
The Pope County Courthouse stands as the central landmark of Golconda, situated on the northern banks of the Ohio River. This riverfront landscape is defined by its deep history of settlement and transit, where the waters divide Illinois and Kentucky. Moving inland, the terrain rises into the timbered ridges of the Shawnee National Forest, punctuated by significant geological formations like Mantle Rock and Newmans Bluff. A dense network of family and community burial grounds, including the Odd Fellows Cem and McMurray Chapel Cem, is scattered across the uplands, tracing the genealogy of the river-facing communities. The river itself remains the dominant feature, containing large landforms such as Pryor Island and Rondeau Island that have historically shaped navigation and local land use along this stretch of the border.
