2022 Map of Clinton

About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the central artery for this riverfront region, dividing the communities of Clinton and Camanche in Iowa from Fulton, East Clinton, and Albany in Illinois. This riverine landscape is defined by a complex network of secondary channels and islands, including Beaver Island and Joyce Island, alongside significant wetlands such as Cattail Slough and Meredosia Slough. The industrial and civic development of the area is anchored by the Clinton County Courthouse and Clinton Community College, while the Union Pacific Railroad corridor underscores the city's enduring role as a transportation hub. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds, from the large Springdale Cem and Clinton Memorial Cem to smaller rural sites like Lusk Cem and Minta Cem. The presence of Harts Mill Rd and various trails like the Discovery Trail provide evidence of both historical industry and modern recreational land use.
