2022 Map of Peoria

About this map

The South Skunk River meanders diagonally through this agricultural landscape, defining the topography of northwestern Mahaska County. The unincorporated community of Peoria serves as a local hub, situated near its namesake Peoria Cem and surrounded by a network of sectional roads like Main St and Elba Ave. On the western edge, the outskirts of Pella begin to appear where the Marion County line meets Mahaska. The map reveals a high density of small burial grounds that mark early family settlements and rural congregations, including Baldwin Cem, Appel Cem, and Black Oak Cem. Waterways such as Muchakinock Cr and Ballinger Cr carve through the tillable land, while Castle Cor stands as a distinct landmark along the gravel road grid, illustrating the persistent 19th-century survey patterns in modern Iowa.
