2018 Map of Quincy West

About this map

Quincy serves as the focal point of this riverfront survey, where the urban grid of Illinois meets the complex island systems of the Mississippi River. The landscape is defined by its transition from the settled bluffs, home to institutions like Quincy Univ and Gem City College, to the low-lying Missouri bottomlands. Two major spans, the Bay View Bridge and the Quincy Memorial Bridge, provide vital passage across the main channel to West Quincy, while the Quincy Small Boat Channel separates the city from recreational and natural spaces like Quinsippi Island.
