About this map

The Mississippi River creates a wide natural corridor through this landscape, dividing the communities of Bettendorf and Riverdale from their neighbors in East Moline and Silvis. Large river features like Campbells Island and Winnebago Island sit within the channel, while the northern bank is defined by the Le Claire Canal. This 2010 topographic profile shows the transition from urban industrial waterfronts to the residential developments of Panorama Park and Pleasant Valley.

Genealogists can identify numerous local burial grounds, including the Fairview Cemetery near the northern boundary and Hampton Township Cemetery further south. The map documents infrastructure ranging from the Schurr Airport to the established neighborhoods of Carbon Cliff and South Moline. Away from the river, the landscape is etched by several drainages, such as Spencer Creek and Crow Creek, which shape the local topography around developments like Sherton Heights.
