About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this landscape, weaving between a series of large islands including Hogback Island, Quinsippi Island, and Poage Island. On the eastern bank, the urban grid of Quincy extends toward the riverfront, marked by prominent institutions such as Quincy University and the Quincy College North Campus. The transport network is defined by the Quincy Memorial Bridge and the modern Bay View Bridge, connecting Illinois to West Quincy, Missouri.

South of the city center, residential developments like Southern View and Sunnybrook Meadows give way to the industrial and agricultural outskirts. The presence of Lock and Dam No 21 underscores the river's managed navigation, while numerous local burial grounds, including Woodland Cem and Saint Boniface Cem, provide significant points of interest for genealogical research. The map also captures smaller rural settlements like Dunsford and Mark near the Fabius River on the Missouri side.
