About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this Illinois-Iowa border region, carving a wide path filled with significant landforms like Ninemile Island and Island 233. The map documents a blend of river-dependent leisure and rural settlements, featuring the Massey Marina Campgrounds near the community of Massey. To the north, the Menominee River winds toward the settlement of Whisky Hollow, while the village of Menominee sits further inland near the Little Menominee River.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through markers such as Preston Cem and Saint Catherines Cem near the town of King. The area’s aviation history is noted by the presence of Briggs Brothers Airfield on the eastern side. This survey captures a moment where small riverside communities like Shawondasse and Wilkins are interconnected by a network of township roads and the overarching presence of the great river system.
