About this map

The confluence of the Mississippi River and the Rock River anchors this detailed study of the Quad Cities area at the close of the millennium. The landscape is a complex intersection of heavy industry, transportation hubs, and historic preserved lands. The Hennepin Canal cuts through the river valley, while the northern extent shows the dense urban grid of Rock Island, Moline, and South Moline. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many cemeteries, including the large Chippiannock Cem and Calvary Cem, as well as numerous neighborhood schools such as Audubon Sch and John Deere Jr High Sch.

South of the river, the terrain transitions into the developed hills of Ginger Hill and the rural crossroads of Coyne Center and Castle Junction. The presence of the Quad City Airport and large industrial tracts like the Quarry near Big Island highlight the region's role as a major Midwestern logistics center. Cultural landmarks like the Black Hawk State Historical Site and Camden Park offer a contrast to the extensive rail infrastructure of the Rock Island District line.
