Peoria, OK

united states

Peoria is a tiny community of about 100 people in Oklahoma's far northeast corner, near the Kansas and Missouri borders. Take US Highway 69 north from Miami (15 miles) or south from Baxter Springs, Kansas to reach this quiet prairie town. The area sits where the Ozark foothills meet the Great Plains, with rolling farmland stretching in all directions. Peoria still shows traces of its railroad heritage along the old Missouri-Kansas-Texas line.
