1891 Map of Davenport
USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
Davenport serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century survey, situated along the north bank of the Mississippi River opposite Rock Island and Moline. The landscape reveals a mature agrarian and transport network, dominated by the diagonal and vertical paths of major rail lines like the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul Railroad and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. These iron arteries connect smaller inland hubs such as Eldridge Junction, Donahue, and Long Grove to the river economy.
