About this map

Washington serves as the central hub of this Tazewell County landscape, characterized by a mix of established residential neighborhoods and a sprawling network of creeks and ponds. Small communities and subdivisions such as Harvard Hills and Beverly Manor appear alongside industrial and transportation markers like Pekin Junction. The hydrology is particularly dense, with Farm Cr and Spring Cr cutting through the terrain, while man-made features like Libbys Lagoon Number 4 and Libbys Lagoon Number 2 indicate local industry or land management south of the main settlement.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the area, including Glendale Cem, Hirstein Cem, and the Hillcrest Memory Garden. The map also captures infrastructure critical to the early 21st-century community, such as the Leonard W Hesselen Airport and the Post Office in the heart of town. Transportation routes like Santa Fe RD and the railroad-influenced Pekin Junction speak to the area's connectivity within the Illinois interior.
