1991 Map of Cordova

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this tri-county borderland, serving as the primary geographic divider between Iowa and Illinois. Along the eastern shore, industrial footprints like the Nuclear Powerplant and the Cordova Dragway contrast with the natural expanse of the Upper Mississippi River National Wild Life and Fish Refuge. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks, from the riverfront settlements of Princeton and Cordova to more secluded points like Camp Hauberg further south. Genealogists will find significant value in the documented locations of family and community resting places, including Oak Ridge Cem, Baker Cem, and Nowlin Cem. The landscape transitions from the aquatic complexity of the Cordova Slough and Wapsipinicon River confluence to the organized agricultural grids of Coe and Port Byron townships.
