How to Use This West Peoria, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West Peoria, Illinois. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Illinois or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to West Peoria.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

West Peoria occupies a high, bluff-top plateau that overlooks the sprawling industrial expanse of the river valley below. It lies 2.0 miles west of Peoria, IL (from Peoria, IL: bearing 268°T), and is situated 8.7 miles north of Pekin. The air here holds a distinct crispness, often catching the scent of damp earth and distant, drying corn stalks as the light fades into a bruised, violet twilight. From the edges of the neighborhood, the terrain slopes away, marked by the persistent, quiet erosion of Dry Run, which carves its way through the landscape just a mile away. The horizon is broad and unrelenting, a flat expanse of prairie sky that makes the occasional cluster of oaks seem like solitary sentinels against the coming dark. Two miles away, the vast, shimmering surface of Upper Peoria Lake acts as a mirror to the changing seasons, its waters shifting from slate gray in the late autumn to a brilliant, reflective white under the high-noon sun.

West Peoria maintains a quiet, self-contained character, defined by the steady, measured pace of residential streets that wind around the lush, manicured greens of Madison Golf Course. Long ago, the area served as a retreat for those seeking a respite from the clamor of the industrial centers nearby, and today, that legacy of stability persists in the well-kept brick homes and the shade-heavy canopy of mature maples. The economy remains rooted in the broader regional stability of the state, benefiting from a history of commerce that has evolved from early agrarian settlement into a modern, service-oriented rhythm. Residents often look toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Hoxie Ridge on the horizon, a reminder of the vast, varied geography that lies beyond these familiar borders. Life here is marked by the simple, repeating cycles of the day—the school bus route, the evening commute, and the soft, collective silence that falls over the neighborhood when the shadows grow long across the grass.

About This West Peoria Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West Peoria, Illinois. Coordinates: 40.696965, -89.639892. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for West Peoria includes the ZIP code (61604), telephone area code (815), county seat of Peoria County (Peoria), and school district assignment (Peoria School District 150).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
