1984 Map of Davenport

About this map

The Mississippi River and the Wapsipinicon River dominate this mid-1980s landscape at the border of Iowa and Illinois. The urban centers of Clinton and Davenport anchor the eastern and southern edges of the map, while the interior is defined by a dense grid of rural townships and small settlements like De Witt, Lost Nation, and Oxford Junction. Large-scale conservation efforts are evident in the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge and the Goose Lake State Wildlife Management Area. Transport infrastructure reveals the region's connectivity, featuring the historic Lincoln Highway and the Chicago and North Western rail lines. Local genealogists can locate specific landmarks such as St Josephs Ch and Elmwood Cem, providing concrete points of reference for families rooted in Clinton and Scott counties.
