1986 Map of Quincy
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
The Mississippi River defines the border between Illinois and Missouri in this mid-1980s regional overview, centering on the city of Quincy and its neighboring river town Hannibal. The landscape is a study in water management and transportation, featuring the Lock and Dam No 21 and the Clarence Cannon Dam, which creates the expansive Mark Twain Lake to the southwest. Educational institutions like Quincy College and Culver-Stockton Col appear alongside an intricate network of rail lines, including the Burlington Northern RR. Beyond the river valley, the terrain is dotted with small rural settlements like Palmyra, New London, and Monroe City, each connected by a grid of state and federal highways. Local heritage is preserved in numerous named cemeteries such as Greenmount Cemetery and Liberty Cemetery, while conservation efforts are evident at the Wakonda State Park and several wildlife areas.
