About this map

Peoria and its western suburbs anchor this landscape, where the urban grid of West Peoria meets the dissected upland terrain of Peoria Co. The General Downing - Peoria International Airport occupies a prominent plateau in the southern half of the map, serving as a modern hub for the region. The map reveals a high density of historical burial grounds, including Saint Mary's Cem, Hebrew Cem, and several church-affiliated sites like Saint John's Lutheran Cem near Norwood.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Kickapoo Creek winding through the valley near Pottstown and the distinctive Horseshoe Bottom formation. These natural features are interspersed with residential growth in communities such as Bartonville, Bellevue, and Maxwell. Local leisure and drainage patterns are further evidenced by Leisure Oak Lake Number 1 and the various branches of Lamarsh Creek, illustrating the transition from dense city blocks to managed suburban and rural outskirts.
