About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this river-border region, separating the industrial and residential growth of Davenport, Iowa, from the bluffs and bottoms of Illinois. Along the northern bank, the settlements of Buffalo Heights, Buffalo, and Linwood are connected by Rockingham Rd and the Railroad St corridor. The river itself is dotted with prominent landforms like Horse Island and several numbered islands including Island Number 318, all flanked by the Andalusia Slough.

South of the water, the terrain rises into the Army Ridge Bluffs, where the community of Andalusia and the Andalusia Cem overlook the valley. Further inland, the map transitions to a rural pattern of creeks and farm roads, anchored by Taylor Ridge. This area is marked by numerous family and community landmarks such as Saint Peter's Cem, Rose Hill Cem, and Asbury Cem, which provide essential touchstones for local genealogical research.
