2010 Map of Illinois City

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a complex network of channels and landforms along the border of Illinois and Iowa, defining the local geography through features like Wyoming Slough and Andalusia Slough. Within this riparian landscape, numerous islands such as Geneva Island, Hog Island, and Hershey Island sit amidst the moving water, illustrating the shifting nature of the river's path. On the Iowa side, the riverside community of Fairport serves as a focal point, notable for the specialized Fairport State Fish Hatchery located nearby.
