About this map

The Mississippi River defines the southern edge of this Quad Cities landscape, separating Rock Island from the expanding urban neighborhoods of eastern Davenport. Three major crossings dominate the riverfront, including the historic Government Bridge, Centennial Bridge, and the Memorial Bridge. Further inland, the city's residential growth is evidenced by established subdivisions like Ridgeview Park, Green Acres, and the neighborhood of Antoine LeClair, while the northern portion of the map remains more open with the Davenport Municipal Airport and the community of Mount Joy.

Significant recreational and public spaces are integrated into the grid, from the Mississippi Valley Fair Grounds to the Duck Creek Park and its adjacent Duck Creek Golf Course. The map also traces the path of the Soo Line railroad and various water bodies like Duck Cr and Silver Cr that drain toward the Mississippi, illustrating the intersection of natural drainage, industrial rail transport, and modern suburban development.
