The Illinois River corridor and its broad glacial valleys define the landscape of Central Illinois during a period of significant post-war infrastructure expansion. Centered on Peoria and Bloomington, the map illustrates a complex network of multi-lane highways like Interstate 74 and Interstate 55 beginning to overlay the older patterns of the Penn Central and Illinois Central railroads. These transit corridors connect major educational and institutional centers, including the University of Illinois in Urbana and the Illinois State University in Normal.
