1941 Map of Maquon
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Spoon River meanders across this rural landscape, providing the geographical spine for Knox County's small agrarian and mining communities during the mid-twentieth century. Transportation and industry define the settlement patterns here, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serving the northern corridor through Williamsfield and Dahinda, while the Chicago Burlington and Quincy line connects Maquon and Yates City to the south. Evidence of local industry is visible in the north, where a significant Strip Mine and the Knoxville Mine operate near the drainage of Sugar Creek.
