1982 Map of Oquawka
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Oquawka serves as the focal point along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, where the town's street grid meets a complex network of side channels and islands. This 1982 landscape is defined by the shifting waters of the river valley, which has created a series of distinct terrain features such as Oquawka Island, Long Island, and Furnald Island. To the north, Delabar State Park and the Big River State Forest preserve a significant portion of the riverfront, while the interior is marked by the winding path of Henderson Creek and its tributary, Smith Creek. For those interested in local history, the map identifies specific landmarks like the Covered Bridge and the County Farm Cem. The transition from the flat river bottoms near Meekers Landing to the higher elevations of Bald Bluff illustrates the varied topography of this section of Henderson County.
