About this map

The Mississippi River and the Rock River converge in this detailed mapping of the Quad Cities area, framing a landscape defined by significant riverine geography and urban expansion. Large islands like Credit Island, Vandruff Island, and Pettifer Island sit at the center of the waterway network, while the southern banks host the community of Milan and the prominent Ginger Hill. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of industrial and transportation hubs, most notably the Quad Cities International Airport, to established residential centers and historic burial grounds.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of cemeteries in the Rock Island and Moline vicinity, including Chippiannock Cem, Calvary Cem, and the Hebrew Cem. South of the river confluence, smaller settlements such as Oak Grove, Coyne Center, and Castle Junction mark the transition toward the agricultural interior, where drainage features like Mill Creek and Case Creek carve through the terrain toward the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
