2021 Map of Washington

About this map

Washington serves as a central hub in this modern geographic profile, where the urban expansion of East Peoria and Morton meets the structured drainage of the Illinois River valley. The landscape is defined by the carved paths of Farm Creek, Tenmile Creek, and Deer Creek, alongside artificial water bodies like Bowen Lake and Kennel Lake. This area of Tazewell and Woodford Counties retains numerous markers of its community history through its burial grounds, including Union Cem, Spring Creek Cem, and Glendale Cem. Transportation remains a cornerstone of the region's character, evidenced by the prominent BNSF Railway corridor and the developed residential pockets of Beverly Manor and Harvard Hills. The presence of several ponds at the Pine Lakes Country Club illustrates the local transition from agricultural land to suburban recreation.
