About this map

The county line between Whiteside Co and Rock Island Co bisects this agricultural landscape, defined by the low-lying drainage patterns of the Meredosia Slough and the engineered channel of the Meredosia Ditch. This area near the Mississippi River floodplain shows a transition from the broad, flat bottomlands to the gently rising upland terrain to the east. Local religious and community history is anchored at the Kingsbury Presbyterian church and the adjacent Kingsbury Presbyterian Cem, situated near the junction of Gaulrapp Rd and Albany Rd. A network of rural roads such as Stropes Rd and Keeley Rd connects the scattered farmsteads, while Mineral Spring Creek winds through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle.
