2015 Map of Davenport East

About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the dominant geographic and cultural divide in this 2015 study of the Quad Cities, separating Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa from Rock Island and Moline in Illinois. This riverfront is densely developed, featuring multiple crossings like the Centennial Bridge, Government Bridge, and Memorial Bridge. The landscape is a mix of educational institutions and residential expansion, with Saint Ambrose University and Palmer College of Chiropractic established in the urban core, while newer communities like Ridgeview Park and Green Acres extend toward the Davenport Municipal Airport and Mount Joy in the north. Significant commemorative sites are prominent, particularly the Rock Island Confederate Cemetery on the island itself and extensive grounds at Pine Hill Cemetery and Oakdale Cemetery, providing rich ground for local history and genealogical research.
