Oquawka, IL: Lost/CB&Q Depot, Flood Photos and CGB Grain Elevator

Depot: (Satellite, my guess based on the aerial photo. Evidently, Marina Dr. and Front St. were built on the CB&Q RoW.)
CGB: (Satellite)

Trent Briggs posted four photos with the comment: "Oquawka, Illinois."

The town now has a levee along the river. I think the depot would have been in this view.

This town was on a branch (twig) between the mainline to Denver and the "Joy Branch."
