About this map

The Illinois River divides this mid-century landscape, carving a wide path between the bustling industrial and residential core of Peoria and the developing eastern shores of East Peoria and Creve Coeur. A dense network of schools, such as Bradley University, Woodruff High School, and St Cecilia School, reflects a period of significant urban growth and civic investment. The map documents the city's infrastructure at a pivotal moment, showing the Peoria Heights Reservoir and several river crossings including the Cedar St Bridge and Franklin St Bridge.
