About this map

East Dubuque anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape where the Mississippi River forms the state boundary between Illinois and Iowa. The river valley is a complex network of channels and backwaters, including the Frentress Lake Slough, Molo Slough, and Shawondasse Slough. This fluvial environment is punctuated by named landforms such as Ninemile Island and Whisky Hollow, the latter situated just inland from the riverbank.

Away from the main river, the terrain rises into the bluffs of Jo Daviess County, where smaller agricultural settlements like Menominee and King are established. Local history is preserved at sites such as Saint Catherine Cem and Preston Cem. The transportation infrastructure is defined by the BNSF Railway corridor following the shoreline and the crossing of US Hwy 20 Frontage Rd, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a gateway between the two states.
