1989 Map of Peoria
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The Illinois River valley serves as the central artery for this late 20th-century landscape, widening into Peoria Lake and Upper Peoria Lake as it passes the industrial and academic hubs of Peoria and Pekin. The map documents a complex transportation network where major rail lines like the Toledo Peoria and Western Railway and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway intersect with the burgeoning interstate system. On the western bluffs, Bradley University stands near the city center, while regional campuses like Illinois Central College and Eureka College anchor the surrounding communities. Evidence of the region's diverse land use is visible in the active Strip Mine operations near Edwards and Rosefield, contrasted with protected natural spaces such as Jubilee College State Park and the Woodford County State Fish and Wildlife Area.
