2021 Map of Spring Bay

About this map

Upper Peoria Lake dominates this stretch of the Illinois River valley, where the water expands significantly between the communities of Mossville and Spring Bay. The western shore is characterized by a series of deeply etched drainages, including Moon Hollow, Strawberry Hollow, and Boyds Hollow, which descend from the high ground near the Mount Hawley Auxiliary Airport. This 2021 record shows the suburban expansion of northern Peoria and Peoria Heights, reaching toward the educational grounds of Midstate College at Keller. On the eastern bank, the settlement of Bay View Garden and the peaceful Sand Ridge Cem sit on the alluvial plain. The map reveals the intricate road network of the contemporary era, from N Knoxville Ave to the residential drives of South Rome, while preserving the locations of early landmarks like Robinson Cem and Mount Hawley Cem.
