Quincy expands eastward in this contemporary landscape, where the urban grid meets the agricultural and wooded drainages of Adams County. The eastern edge of the city is defined by significant educational and memorial sites, including Vatterott College and John Wood Community College, alongside numerous cemeteries such as Saint Peters Cem and the Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens. The terrain becomes more complex as one moves away from the city center, with the southern reaches of the map featuring the evocative names of Ghost Hollow and Distillery Hollow near the Ehe Cem. Further north, smaller settlements like Ewbanks and Hickory Grove sit among a network of creeks, including Cedar Cr, Little Mill Cr, and Mill Cr. This map documents a modern era of suburban infill, highlighting how new developments and institutional campuses now occupy lands once dominated by family plots like the Laughlin Cem and Voorhees Cem.
