About this map

Mississippi River defines the border between Iowa and Illinois in this 2015 study, anchoring a dense network of Quad Cities communities. The landscape is marked by substantial industrial and residential development, from the riverfront city of Moline and Silvis in Illinois to the sprawling hills of Bettendorf and Le Claire on the Iowa side. Key landmarks include the Le Claire Canal and a series of river features such as Winnebago Island and Campbells Island.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant research data through numerous burial sites, including Fairview Cem and Saint Mary's Catholic Church Cem. The map also details the evolving suburban character of places like Panorama Park and Pleasant Valley. Educational and civic nodes such as Scott Community Coll serve as anchors for the local geography amidst the complex drainage patterns of Duck Cr and Sugar Creek.
