About this map

East Moline and Moline anchor this post-war landscape along the Mississippi River, revealing a dense industrial and rail corridor during a period of significant growth. The riverbank is defined by the massive infrastructure of Lock and Dam No 14 and the natural forms of Campbells Island and Winnebago Island. The complexity of the mid-century rail network is evident as the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific, Chicago Burlington and Quincy, and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific converge through Silvis and Carbon Cliff.
