About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this landscape, serving as a dynamic border between Illinois and Iowa. On the eastern shore, Savanna is situated beneath the bluffs of Mississippi Palisades State Park, where landmarks like Uptons Cave overlook the water. Across the river, the town of Sabula sits on a narrow island, connected by the Tolli Bridge and surrounded by a complex network of backwaters including Sabula Lakes and the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life And Fish Refuge.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain shifts into the dissected uplands of Jackson and Clinton counties. Small rural settlements like Teeds Grove and Hauntown are documented alongside family and local burial grounds such as Dickinson Cem and Canada Hollow Cem. The region's industrial and transport foundations are visible through the tracks of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the presence of several Quarry sites.
