USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Kickapoo Creek winds through the heart of the central Illinois landscape, separating the developing urban fringes of Peoria from the rural uplands to the west. This mid-century survey captures a period of significant post-war expansion, with the Greater Peoria Airport serving as a massive modern anchor for the region. The map highlights the area's diverse institutional and industrial history, from the expansive grounds of the Peoria State Hospital and State Hospital Farm in Bartonville to active extractive sites like the Strip Mine north of Norwood.
