Upper Peoria Lake and the Illinois River bifurcate this metropolitan landscape, serving as the central axis for the development of Peoria and East Peoria. The 2012 topography reveals a dense urban and suburban grid, including historic areas like Averyville and North Peoria, alongside major institutions such as Bradley University and the University of Illinois College of Medicine. Crossing the water, the Cedar Street Bridge and Bob Michel Bridge link the industrial riverfronts. Significant green spaces and cultural landmarks, including the George Luthy Memorial Botanical Garden and Peoria Mineral Springs, are interspersed with numerous established burial grounds like Springdale Cem and Saint Josephs Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for local genealogists and researchers studying the region's growth.
