About this map

La Salle Lake and its surrounding watercourses dominate this Grundy County landscape, reflecting the modern management of drainage and resources in north-central Illinois. The terrain is intricately carved by several waterways, including Waupecan Cr, Thunder Cr, and the appropriately named Johnny Run. These features reveal the natural hydrology of the region as it integrates with a strict, rectilinear road grid of county lines and local routes such as W Grand Ridge Rd and S Kinsman Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of Hegland Cem, situated near the western edge of the quadrangle. The map captures the agricultural and residential layout of the early 21st century, with various named thoroughfares like Mine Rd and W Ransom Rd connecting scattered farmsteads and rural dwellings. The eastern portion of the sheet shows the residential street network near Verona, featuring Vienna St and Smith St.
