About this map

The Mississippi River creates a natural border between Iowa and Illinois on this 2021 survey, defining the industrial and residential corridors of Davenport and Buffalo. Along the northern banks, the landscape is marked by the Nahant Marsh and the riverside settlements of Linwood and Buffalo Heights. On the Illinois side, the river splits around Andalusia Island and several numbered landmasses like Island Number 318, creating the complex waterways of the Andalusia Slough.

Away from the water, the topography rises into the Army Ridge Bluffs near Andalusia. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Andalusia Cem and Saint Peter's Cem. The southern portion of the map transitions to the rural crossroads of Taylor Ridge, where the terrain is carved by Turkey Hollow Cr and the Turkey Hollow Reservoir, illustrating the varied drainage patterns that feed back into the Great River.
