About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this mid-century landscape, serving as the border between Muscatine County, Iowa, and Rock Island County, Illinois. A complex network of secondary channels and islands, such as Wyoming Slough and Hershey Island, highlights the dynamic river environment before significant modern alteration. On the Iowa side, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad tracks follow the river's curve, passing through the settlement of Fairport and the nearby U S Fish Hatchery.
