About this map

Marquette Heights and North Pekin appear here as established suburban landscapes during the late 1990s. The map captures the organized development of the Pekin area, including residential expansions such as Pekin Heights and the smaller enclave of Towne Oaks. This era is defined by a dense network of local civic and educational institutions, from Sunset Hills Sch to Broadmoor Jr High Sch, alongside numerous spiritual centers like Bethel Ch and the United Brethren Ch.

The landscape transitions from the urbanized river bluffs toward the agricultural plateaus of Groveland and Elm Grove. Water features like Lake Wahelo and Lick Creek provide natural relief amidst the grid of roads. For those tracing local families, the map is particularly rich in burial sites, including the large Glendale Memorial Cemetery and more secluded spots like Deacon Street Cem and Haynes Cem.
