About this map

Hanna City and its surrounding countryside in Peoria County are depicted here during a period of significant land transformation. Extensive Strip Mine operations dominate the northern landscape, particularly in Rosefield, where large-scale extraction and Reclaimed Strip Mine areas sit side-by-side with Tailings Ponds. The central rail corridor, served by the Chicago and North Western railroad, connects the settlements of Eden and East Farmington, while residential developments like Lake Camelot and Lake Lancelot reflect a shift toward planned community living in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Local history is well-preserved through numerous rural landmarks. Small cemeteries such as Smithville Cem and Harkers Corner Cem are scattered across the terrain, alongside institutional features like the Hanna City Boys Sch. The transition from industrial mining to recreation and suburban growth is evident as newer subdivisions and a Drag Strip appear near the established older centers of Smithville and Cottonwood Ch.
