2012 Map of South Pekin

About this map

The Mackinaw River meanders through this portion of Tazewell County, defining a landscape of alluvial bottoms and drainage networks including Breedlove Ditch and Meeker Ditch. This 2012 survey illustrates the agricultural character of the region, punctuated by elevated terrain features like The Mound, Little Mound, and Hickory Grove Hill. The village of South Pekin sits at the northern edge, supported by the Pekin Municipal Airport, while Green Valley occupies the southeastern corner. For those researching local family history, several burial grounds are preserved across the rural landscape, including Saint John's Lutheran Cem, Old Sand Prairie Cem, and the Langston Cem. The road network, including uniquely named routes like Christmas Tree Rd and Toboggan Ave, reveals the modern spatial organization of these central Illinois townships.
