Museums hold 3,086 specimens collected within 10 miles of Pekin between 1844 and 1975: 2,969 Animalia, 57 Plantae, 47 Fungi, 11 Unrecorded, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A Schwartz, A. R. Gaufin, A.C. Borror and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

The federal mineral resources record lists 1 working within 5 miles of Pekin: 1 past producer. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

Every working recorded in Warren County

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1044360.
