How to Use This Cordova, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cordova, Illinois. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Illinois or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Cordova.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Cordova emerges from the flat, expansive horizon of the Illinois plains as a collection of sturdy structures bounded by the heavy, deliberate flow of the Mississippi River. It lies 14.0 miles north-northeast of East Moline, IL (from East Moline, IL: bearing 28°T), and is situated 5.8 miles north-northeast of Le Claire. The air here holds the scent of damp earth and cooling asphalt, carrying the silence of a landscape defined by its distance from the frantic pace of larger hubs. To the east, the terrain stretches toward the horizon in a pattern of fields that change color with the turning of the seasons, while the Ms Rv Pools 11-22 Recreation Area provides a quiet buffer where the water meets the land. Sunlight in the late afternoon catches the dust motes above the gravel shoulders of the roads, casting long, thin shadows that emphasize the vastness of the Midwestern sky.

Cordova maintains a character forged by the persistent industry of the river and the surrounding agricultural expanse. The economy remains tied to the rhythms of the land and the transit of goods along the waterway, reflecting a history of settlement that prioritized utility and connection to the interior. While the hum of modern machinery occasionally punctuates the stillness, the quietude remains the most enduring feature of the landscape, only interrupted by the distant call of wildlife near Hagenson Pond. Life in Cordova moves with a gravity that feels both ancient and immediate, grounded in the simple, repetitive labor of those who work the soil and navigate the currents that have shaped this region for generations.

About This Cordova Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cordova, Illinois. Coordinates: 41.68031, -90.319018. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Cordova includes the ZIP code (61242), telephone area code (847, 224), county seat of Rock Island County (Rock Island), and school district assignment (Riverdale Community Unit School District 100).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
