1949 Map of Davenport
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Rock Island Arsenal dominates the mid-river landscape where the Mississippi River separates Iowa and Illinois, serving as a focal point for this post-war industrial and military hub. The map details the dense urban grids of Rock Island and Moline, connected to the Iowa side by the Centennial Br and Memorial Br. This era of development is defined by a heavy concentration of rail infrastructure, with lines like the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific threading through the riverfront districts to serve the Municipal Terminal and local factories.
