Mississippi River crossings and riverfront settlements define this borderland where Port Byron and Rapids City sit opposite Le Claire on the Iowa bank. The landscape transitions from the high bluffs of the Mississippi down to the valley of the Rock River, which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle near Cleveland and Barstow. This area is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Schaefer Family Cem, Yost Cem, and the Dana Edwards Cem, providing a significant record of early settlement patterns in Rock Island County.
