1953 Map of Davenport East

About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the central artery for this mid-century quadrangle, defining the border between Iowa and Illinois as it flows past the Rock Island Arsenal. This map captures the industrial and civic heart of the Quad Cities, detailing the urban expansion of Davenport and Bettendorf on the northern bank, while Rock Island and Moline sit to the south. The river infrastructure is prominent, notably Lock and Dam No 15 and the Municipal Terminal at Davenport Harbor.
