The Mississippi River creates a significant geographical and political boundary here, separating Muscatine and Scott counties in Iowa from Rock Island County in Illinois. Along the northern bank, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad parallels the water, connecting small riverside hubs like Montpelier and Midway Beach. The river itself is dominated by the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge, which includes complex water features like Velie Chute and the extensive Andalusia Slough.
