About this map

The Illinois River valley serves as the industrial and geographical heart of this mid-century survey, with Peoria and Pekin dominating the riverfront. To the south, the sprawling grounds of Chanute AFB near Rantoul and the University of Illinois in Urbana and Champaign mark significant institutional anchors. The landscape is a lattice of rail lines, including the Illinois Central, Wabash, and the Illinois Terminal, which linked the agricultural and manufacturing centers of Bloomington, Normal, and Clinton.
