1991 Map of Coal Valley

About this map

The Rock River and Green River converge in this detailed mapping of the Quad Cities' southeastern reach, where industrial river corridors meet the rural uplands of Rock Island Co and Henry Co. The landscape transitions from the urban density of Moline and East Moline to the smaller settlements of Coal Valley and Carbon Cliff. Genealogical interest is found in numerous local landmarks, including Trinity Ch, Glenwood Cem, and Homestead Cem. The mapping shows the established residential growth of South Moline alongside remaining industrial features like the sandpit near Coal Creek. Strategic infrastructure, including Interstate 80 and the Burlington Northern railroad, underscores the area's role as a regional transportation hub in the late twentieth century.
