1990 Map of Burlington

About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the central artery for this tri-state region, where the borders of Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri converge. Significant industrial and conservation footprints define the 1990 landscape, from the sprawling Iowa Army Ammunition Plant west of Burlington to the vast wetlands of the Mark Twain National Wildlife Refuge. The map captures the complex river-and-rail economy of major hubs like Keokuk, Galesburg, and Fort Madison, while preserving the location of smaller riverfront settlements such as Nauvoo, Oquawka, and Warsaw.
