(Satellite, as is rather typical, the depot's land got used by a highway. It looks like the Milwaukee tracks have also been moved in this area.)

Diagrams of the depot

The CGW shared the bridge over the Mississippi River with Illinois Central. But on the Iowa side, IC went south and CGW went north.

I used the courthouse to correlate the 1950s map with today's satellite image. Was today's Mississippi Mud Studios a CGW freight house or someone's industrial building?
