About this map

The Iroquois River carves a winding path through this Iroquois County landscape, anchored by the settlement of L'Erable. This rural Illinois territory is defined by its water systems and the family landmarks of its early residents. Significant local crossings include L'Erable Bridge and Perry Bridge, which facilitate travel over the Pike Cr and its tributaries.

For those researching family history, the map preserves several local burial grounds, including the L'Erable Catholic Cem, Jones Cem, Teege Cem, and Old Burg Cem. The drainage patterns, represented by features like the N Martinton Ditch and Langan Creek, show the systematic agricultural development of the region. The map provides a clear view of the grid of county roads, such as Co Road 2700N and W Riverdale Dr, that connect these isolated sites.
