1940 Map of Oquawka
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Oquawka serves as a critical riverfront hub on this pre-war survey, where the Mississippi River meets a complex network of sloughs and islands like Benton Island. The landscape transitions from the river bottoms to the dissected uplands of Henderson County, marked by a dense distribution of rural institutions. Local history and genealogy interest is particularly high here due to the numerous family-named and community landmarks, including the County Farm and a vast array of country schools such as the Little Brick Sch, Twentieth Century Sch, and Hazel Dell Sch.
