2010 Map of Muscatine

About this map

Muscatine serves as the focal point of this 2010 survey, showcasing the city's complex relationship with the winding Mississippi River. The urban footprint is defined by its industrial and civic infrastructure, including the Muscatine Post Office and the riverfront Mark Twain Overlook. Large-scale geographic features like Muscatine Island to the south and the smaller Hog Island to the east illustrate the shifting nature of the river's path, while the Norman F Beckey Bridge provides the primary link between the Iowa and Illinois shores. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, locating numerous burial grounds such as Greenwood Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Friends Cemetery. The layout of the city and its surrounding drainage systems, including Mad Creek and Muscatine Slough, highlights how the local topography has been adapted for both municipal growth and recreation at the Muscatine Municipal Golf Course.
