1949 Map of Peoria West

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Peoria State Hospital and its associated State Hospital Farm anchor the southern landscape of this 1949 survey, which was updated in 1967 to show the expanding footprint of Peoria and Bartonville. The topography is defined by the sharp ravines and bluffs leading down to the Illinois River, notably around the distinctive curve of Horseshoe Bottom. A heavy industrial and transportation network is evident, with multiple rail lines including the Chicago and North Western and Chicago Burlington and Quincy cutting through the valleys.
