1982 Map of Maquon
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Spoon River meanders across this section of Knox County, defining a landscape of alluvial bottoms and upland ridges. In the early 1980s, the village of Maquon serves as a primary hub along the Burlington Northern railroad, while Gilson sits to the northwest near the confluence of Haw Creek and Little Haw Creek. This survey is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous small family and community burial grounds such as McAllister Cem, Thurman Cem, and Harshbarger Cem. The terrain is marked by traditional land use, including a Gravel Pit and the Clark Chapel church, while natural water features like Horseshoe Lake and Hickory Creek provide insight into the local drainage patterns that influenced original settlement locations.
