The Mississippi River separates the riverside communities of Buffalo and Andalusia in this study of the borderlands between Scott County, Iowa, and Rock Island County, Illinois. The river's complexity is revealed through a series of numbered islands, including Island Number 322, and the prominent Horse Island near Walnut Grove. On the Illinois side, the landscape rises toward the Army Ridge Bluffs, drained by Turkey Hollow Creek and its associated Turkey Hollow Reservoir. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, from Rose Hill Cemetery and Saint Peter's Cemetery in Iowa to the Andalusia Cemetery and Asbury Cemetery. The mapping of small settlements like Taylor Ridge and Jamestown alongside industrial and transport markers like Railroad St illustrates the enduring connection between the river valley's topography and its residential growth.
