Upper Peoria Lake and the Illinois River divide this urban landscape, where the industrial and residential growth of central Illinois is documented in fine detail. On the western bluffs, the expansion of Peoria is anchored by Bradley Univ, while across the water, the terrain becomes more varied around East Peoria and the residential pockets of Sunnyland and Highway Village. The map reveals a dense network of local roads such as War Memorial Dr and W Forrest Hill Ave, which serve the established neighborhoods of Peoria Heights and El Vista. To the south, the river corridor supports industrial hubs like Bartonville and Wesley, while the eastern side shows the winding paths of Farm Cr and Dempsey Cr. Several historic resting places, including Fondulac Cem and Saint Joseph's Cem, provide essential data points for local genealogists studying the evolution of these river communities.
