The agrarian landscape of Peoria County is defined by the intersection of small prairie settlements and a network of deeply etched creek hollows. Hanna City serves as a central hub, flanked by the smaller hamlets of Eden and Smithville. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the planned residential developments surrounding Lake Camelot and Lake Lancelot, where modern water management has reshaped the drainage of the E Br Copperas Cr. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites preserved in this landscape, including Pleasant Grove Cem, Smithville Cem, and Harker's Corner Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of drainage runs like Nixon Run and Johnson Run, which flow through named depressions such as Coal Hollow and Heaton Hollow. This 2018 survey illustrates the persistent grid of county roads, including W Farmington Rd and Texas Rd, that has organized this central Illinois territory since the early township surveys.
