About this map

Upper Peoria Lake and the Illinois River bisect this urban landscape, defining the industrial and residential development of Peoria and East Peoria in the mid-2010s. The region is heavily shaped by its educational and civil infrastructure, notably Bradley Univ, Illinois Central Coll, and the Methodist Coll of Nursing. Several spans connect the riverfronts, including the Bob Michel Bridge, Cedar Street Bridge, and Mcclugage Bridge, facilitating movement between the main city and eastern settlements like Sunnyland and Cloverdale.

Beyond the central urban corridors, the terrain rises into higher ground at Peoria Heights, where the Peoria Heights Reservoir is located. The map details an extensive network of cemeteries and local landmarks, from the expansive Springdale Cem to the outlying Mooberry Cem. Water management is prominent through the Farm Creek Diversion Channel, highlighting the engineering required to manage the many tributaries such as Kickapoo Creek and Tenmile Creek that feed into the river valley.
