The Mississippi River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of the Quad Cities and the surrounding fertile river valleys of Iowa and Illinois. The industrial and strategic importance of the region is anchored by the Rock Island Arsenal, situated on its namesake island between Davenport and Rock Island. To the west, the expansion of water management is evident at the recently formed Coralville Reservoir on the Iowa River, adjacent to Lake Macbride State Park.
