1982 Map of Rome
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Illinois River corridor in Peoria County is defined here by a transition from the agricultural uplands of La Prairie and Hallock to the industrial and residential developments near the riverbank. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad skirts the base of the river bluffs, serving the growth of Rome and North Hampton. This era reflects a landscape where traditional community anchors, such as North Hampton Cem and Blue Ridge Ch, exist alongside modern infrastructure like the Illinois Valley Central High Sch and a series of large Gravel Pits. Local genealogy is well-supported by the presence of several established burial grounds, including La Salle Cem and Mooney Cem, which are situated near the southern edge of the survey. The drainage patterns of Senachwine Creek and Gilfillan Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural geography that shaped the placement of early settlements and transport routes.
