2019 Map of Peoria

About this map

Peoria and the small settlements of Santa Fe and New Santa Fe anchor this portion of the Miami and Wabash County line, where the landscape is defined by the managed waters of Mississinewa Lake. The area's geological character is most striking at the Cliffs of the Seven Double Pillars, which rise along the Mississinewa River northwest of the Mississinewa Dam Rd. This 2019 survey documents a network of recreational paths including the Frances Slocum State Forest Trails and the Miami SRA Bike Trail, weaving through the timber and along the lake's fingers. Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial grounds, from the Clayton Cem and Ramer Cem to the Slocum Cem and Fegley Cem. The map also details small crossroads such as Pioneer and the Red Bridge area, reflecting the modern layout of rural Indiana before the terrain slopes toward Pipe Creek and Walnut Cr.
