2013 Map of Peoria

About this map

Mississinewa Lake dominates this central Indiana landscape, a sprawling reservoir created by the Mississinewa Dam that reshaped the local topography. Along the northern banks of the Mississinewa River, the striking Cliffs of the Seven Double Pillars stand as a prominent landmark just west of the small settlement of Peoria. The map captures a transition between the hydraulic engineering of the reservoir and the traditional agricultural grid of Miami County, where small communities like New Santa Fe and Santa Fe are linked by rural routes such as the S Frances Slocum Trl. Local history is preserved in the names of drainage systems like Unger Ditch and the winding course of Pipe Cr, while the presence of S Bond Cemetery Rd provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this river valley region.
