1991 Map of Davenport East

About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the focal point of this early 1990s survey, marking the border between Iowa and Illinois. The landscape is dominated by the industrial and military presence of the Rock Island Arsenal and Lock and Dam No 15, situated on Rock Island between Davenport and Rock Island city. The map reveals a dense urban corridor characterized by significant educational and medical institutions, including the Palmer College of Chiropractic and Augustana College. Transportation infrastructure is prominent, with the Soo Line railroad and Centennial Bridge connecting the Quad Cities. To the north, the terrain transitions toward suburban developments like Green Acres and Mt Joy, while the Davenport Muni Airport occupies the northwestern corner. Numerous religious and social landmarks, such as Oakdale Cemetery and Brady Street Stadium, highlight the long-established community structure of this riverfront region.
