USGS Topo · Published 1916About this map
The Illinois River corridor dominates this early twentieth-century landscape, serving as a congested industrial and transportation artery between Peoria and Pekin. The river's influence is evident in the dense concentration of rail lines, including the Peoria and Pekin Union Ry and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR, which hug the banks and connect the riverfront communities. Institutional landmarks of the era are clearly marked, such as the Insane Asylum near Bartonville and the Poor Farm in Limestone township.
