About this map

The city of Quincy dominates the western edge of this 1971 survey, showing a transition from dense urban development to the agricultural landscapes of Ellington and Melrose townships. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the high concentration of burial sites, ranging from the National Cem and St Peters Cem near the city center to smaller family and church-affiliated plots like the Laughlin Cem, Eeds Cem, and Melrose Chapel Cem.

Transport and industry follow the winding paths of Homan Creek and Mill Creek, while the Burlington Northern railroad cuts through the northern countryside near Ewbanks. Local institutions are well-documented, including the Chaddock Boys Sch and St Anthonys Sch, alongside the prominent broadcast infrastructure of Radio Tower (KHQA-TV) and Radio Towers (WGEM). The map also identifies rural gathering points like Hickory Grove and the small settlement of Burton.
