About this map

The Rock River valley serves as a bustling corridor of industry and transportation in this mid-century survey of the Illinois landscape. The map highlights a diverse economy, from the urban expansion of Moline and South Moline in the northwest to the agricultural and extractive zones of the south. Evidence of the region’s coal heritage is found in the village of Coal Valley and nearby operations like the Black Hawk Mine and Gem Mine.
