About this map

The Mississippi River carves a complex course through this border region, defining the landscape between Clinton, Iowa, and Fulton, Illinois. A dense network of industrial and residential streets marks the city center of Clinton, where transportation infrastructure like the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Swing Bridge and the Clinton Illinois Bridge connect the two states. The river itself is fragmented by large landforms such as Beaver Island, Albany Island, and Willow Island, creating distinct channels including Beaver Slough and Joyces Slough.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, ranging from Springdale Cem and Saint Marys Cem in the north to Oakridge Cem and Lusk Cem near Albany. The map captures the settled riverfronts of Lyons and Camanche, contrasted against the low-lying wetlands of Cattail Slough and the rural stretches toward Garden Plain. Notable institutional landmarks like Ashford Univ sit perched above the river valley, overlooking the intricate bridge system that has long facilitated commerce in this tri-county junction.
