The Illinois River corridor anchors this modern study of Pekin and its industrial and residential surroundings. The landscape is defined by the massive Powerton Cooling Lake and the nearby Powerton facility, reflecting the area's role in power generation and river-based commerce. The city of Pekin itself is a dense grid of streets featuring the Tazewell County Courthouse and numerous historic burial grounds, including Sacred Heart Catholic Cem, Lakeside Cem, and Lakeview Cem.
