About this map

Quincy and its eastern suburbs are shown here as they appeared in 2015, revealing a landscape where expanding residential developments like Meadowbrook and Cheshire Hills meet a rich historical record of rural cemeteries and homesteads. The terrain is defined by the drainages of Mill Cr and Curtis Cr, which carve through the plateau east of the Mississippi River valley. This area serves as an important educational and religious hub, anchored by the John Wood Community Coll and Vatterott Coll, alongside prominent institutions like Saint Anthonys Church.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, ranging from large public grounds like Graceland Cem and Quincy Memorial Park Cem to smaller family and church-affiliated plots such as Voorhees Cem, Laughlin Cem, and the Melrose Chapel Cem near Ghost Hollow. The transition from the urban grid of Quincy to the outlying settlements of Ewbanks and Burton highlights the late 20th-century growth patterns of Adams County.
