2015 Map of Cordova

About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the central artery and dividing line between Iowa and Illinois in this 2015 study, which details the riverside communities of Cordova and Port Byron on the Illinois side and Princeton and Folletts on the Iowa bank. The landscape is shaped by complex riverine features, including Adams Island, the winding Wapsipinicon River, and various backwater channels like Grant Slough and Cordova Slough. This modern survey is particularly valuable for local historians and genealogists, as it identifies several established burial grounds across both states, including Princeton City Cemetery, Oak Ridge Cemetery, and Nowlin Cemetery in Iowa, as well as Baker Cemetery and Fairfield Cemetery in Illinois. The transportation network is defined by major routes such as Great River Road and North River Drive, reflecting the area's continued orientation toward the river valley.
