About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the central artery for this portion of the Quad Cities, dividing the landscape between Scott County, Iowa, and Rock Island County, Illinois. Along the river's path, several large islands such as Spencer Island, Kay Island, and Campbells Island define the navigation channels and shoreline of Bettendorf and Moline. The urban layout shows a dense network of transportation and education, featuring Scott Community College and Western Illinois University - Quad Cities.

Away from the industrial riverfront, the map details a complex of residential expansion and historical markers, including numerous burial sites like Fairview Cem and Saint Mary's Catholic Church Cem. Small incorporations such as Panorama Park and Riverdale are shown alongside larger hubs like Silvis and East Moline. The northern reaches transition into less dense areas marked by Spencer Creek and McCarty Creek, providing a look at the suburban-rural fringe where major arteries like Territorial Road intersect the upland terrain.
