Illinois River bluffs dominate the eastern margin of this landscape, where the Peoria Heights vicinity meets the river's wide floodplains. During the 1930s, this region north of Peoria was a complex tapestry of agricultural prairie, small rail stops, and early aviation facilities like the Mt Hawley Landing Field and the Peoria Aero Club. Three major railroads — the Chicago and Northwestern, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific — intersect the landscape, connecting settlements like Dunlap and Edelstein.
