About this map

The Mississippi River acts as the central artery and state boundary between Illinois and Missouri on this survey, defining a landscape of complex waterways and river islands. The city of Quincy dominates the eastern bluffs, showing a dense urban grid that includes Quincy University and the Adams County Courthouse. The river’s braided character is evident in the numerous chutes and sloughs, such as Canton Chute and Crooked Slough, which separate significant landmasses like Quinsippi Island and Deadman Island.

Conservation and civic spaces are prominent throughout the area, from the sprawling Great River National Wildlife Refuge in the north to localized recreational spots like Indian Mounds Park and Parker Heights Park. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in cemetery data, documenting the Sunset Veterans Cem, Woodland Cem, and Saint Boniface Cem. Industrial footprints are also visible, including a Gravel Pit and the Quincy Small Boat Channel along the bay.
