About this map

Peoria and its western suburbs appear here during a period of established urban development and logistical expansion. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of the General Downing - Peoria International Airport and the complex interchange where modern highways meet older routes like W Plank Rd. The transition from the dense street grids of West Peoria and Bellevue to the more open suburban and rural terrain of Norwood and Maxwell is clearly visible.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Perria County Farm Cem and several denominational grounds such as Saint Mary's of the Woods Cem and Hebrew Cem. The drainage patterns of Kickapoo Creek and its many tributaries, like Deer Lick Cr and Big Hollow Cr, define the area's topography, carving out distinctive features like the Horseshoe Bottom as the water flows toward the Tazewell County line.
