About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this quadrangle, serving as the border between Iowa and Illinois. The city of Lyons and the Clinton Stock Yards anchor the western shore, while the communities of Fulton, East Clinton, and Little Oklahoma occupy the eastern bank. This area is a critical transportation hub where the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad crosses the water via a Swing Bridge, alongside several major spans including the Mark N Morris Bridge and Clinton Illinois Bridge.

Away from the industrial riverfront, the map shows a network of islands like Beaver Island and Joyce Island, separated from the mainland by Beaver Slough. To the south, the village of Albany sits along the river's edge, while Garden Plain marks the rural interior of the Illinois side. Numerous creeks, such as Mill Cr and Cattail Slough, drain the surrounding terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology of the river valley.
