1934 Map of Oquawka
USGS Topo · Published 1934About this map
Oquawka stands at the edge of the Mississippi River, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by its intricate network of river sloughs and productive Illinois farmland in the early 1930s. The riverfront is characterized by numerous islands and backwaters, including Benton Island and Fernal Island, which transition into the bottomlands of Gladstone. To the east, the terrain rises into upland prairies and wooded breaks, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts through the countryside, connecting agricultural hubs like Biggsville and Kirkwood.
