Meredosia Bottoms dominates the western landscape of this early 1980s survey, defined by an intricate network of drainage infrastructure designed to manage the low-lying terrain near the Whiteside and Rock Island County boundary. The map reveals a heavily engineered hydrology, where the Meredosia Ditch, Smith Ditch, and West Branch Diversion Ditch cut across the alluvial flats. This water management system supported the agricultural development of the Newton, Albany, Coe, and Erie townships.
