1960 Map of Pekin
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The industrial and riverine character of Pekin is defined by the broad Illinois River corridor as it looked in the early 1960s. This survey by John C. Frye and the Geological Survey Division reveals a landscape shaped by water and heavy transit, where the main channel is flanked by extensive water bodies like Worley Lake and Pekin Lake. To the west, the winding Lamarsh Creek and the Mackinaw River snake through the bottomlands near Mapleton, while the eastern bank is dominated by the grid of Pekin, featuring numerous neighborhood schools such as Roosevelt Sch and Edison Sch.
