2019 Map of Peoria

About this map

Peoria and its surrounding hamlets sit at a crossroads of rural Union County, defined by a network of drainage ways and local cemeteries that mark the area's ancestral roots. Small communities like Raymond, Broadway, and Pottersburg are interconnected by a grid of county roads, with Mill Creek and Blues Cr winding through the agricultural landscape. The southern portion of the sheet shows the northern expansion of Marysville, where modern suburban street patterns contrast with the traditional rural layout of the northern sections. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Asbury Cem and Hamilton Cem, are preserved across the terrain, offering significant touchpoints for genealogists. The map also traces the paths of Otter Run and Bear Swamp Run, illustrating the complex natural hydrology that has influenced the placement of these settlements and farmsteads.
