  • Assessing Vulnerability
    3 Risk Assessment Muscatine County Hazard Mitigation Plan Assessing Vulnerability: Overview This section analyzes the county's vulnerability to natural and man-made hazards in terms of the types and numbers of existing and future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities. The first part is a general profile of Muscatine County that describes the county's characteristics and its historic development. Community Profile: Muscatine County, Iowa Geography and Land Use Muscatine County is located in east-central Iowa. The county is bounded by Cedar County to the north, Scott County on the northeast, the Mississippi River and Rock Island County, Illinois, on the east, Louisa County on the south, and Johnson County on the west. Muscatine is the largest city and the county seat. Other cities include West Liberty, Wilton, Nichols, Atalissa, Stockton, Fruitland, and Conesville. The soils in Muscatine County are nearly level, gently sloping (0-5 percent) prairie- derived soils developed from alluvium along the Cedar River and Wapsinonoc Creek valleys. The Mississippi River Valley soils are gently sloping to steep (2-25 percent) forest-derived soils developed from loess or pre-Wisconsin till. Separating these two valley soils are gently to strongly sloping (1-14 percent) prairie to forest-derived soils developed from loess. Predominantly, these soils are moderately-well to well-drained soils and do not contribute to the flooding conditions. The Cedar River travels across the western half of Muscatine County in a southwesterly direction where it joins the Iowa River just southwest of Muscatine County. The topography of Muscatine County is a predominantly broad expanse of relatively flat land along the Cedar and Mississippi Rivers.
