2010 Map of Port Byron

About this map

The Mississippi River and Rock River define the industrial and residential landscape of this region during the first decade of the 2000s. Riverside communities like Port Byron, Le Claire, and Rapids City line the banks, showing the established settlement patterns of the upper Mississippi. The interior is a grid of agricultural and suburban development, dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds including the Schäefer Family Cemetery, Pleasant Point Cemetery, and Zuma Cemetery. Further south, the map details the confluence of infrastructure and industry near Cleveland, where the Cleveland Quarry operates adjacent to the Rock River. Notable recreational and social landmarks, such as the YWCA Girls Camp and Shawbonee Camp, appear along the river bluffs, while the residential development of Rustic Acres and its associated Rustic Acres Lake Dam indicate contemporary water management and expansion near the river forks.
