About this map

Rock River dominates the central landscape of this quadrangle, winding past a series of named islands including Vandruff Island and Carr Island as it flows toward its confluence with the Mississippi River. This map details the southern reaches of the Quad Cities, capturing the transition from the industrial and residential grid of Rock Island and Moline into the smaller communities of Milan and Coyne Center. The geography is defined by complex water systems, where Kickapoo Slu and Shooks Pond sit alongside the expansive grounds of the Quad City International Airport.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, from the historic Chippiannock Cem and Calvary Cem in the north to the more secluded Chapel Grove Cem near Castle Junction. The southern portion of the sheet shows a more dispersed settlement pattern at Oak Grove and Ginger Hill, where the terrain begins to rise away from the river valleys, marked by winding routes like Knoxville Rd and the Milan Bltwy.
