About this map

Eldridge anchors this Scott County landscape, showing the town's expansion toward the end of the twentieth century. The map captures the suburban and institutional growth of the period, evidenced by the clustered residential development of Park View and the concentration of educational facilities like North Scott High Sch and North Scott Jr High Sch. Local heritage is preserved at Walnut Grove Pioneer Village and the historic St Anns Ch, while the industrial and agricultural balance is reflected in the surrounding Gravel Pit and Quarry sites near Scott County Park.

The infrastructure of the region is defined by the Old Railroad Grade and a network of rural routes such as St Anns Road and Le Claire Road. The transition from town to farm is marked by numerous creeks, including Mason Creek and Crow Creek, and landmarks like the Carmelite Monastery and Mt Joy Cem, which serve as permanent anchors for local genealogists and historians tracing family roots in the Winfield and Sheridan townships.
