About this map

The Iroquois River meanders through this portion of Iroquois County, defining the agricultural character of the region. The small settlement of L'Erable serves as a local focal point, positioned near the L'Erable Bridge and the Saint Johns Cem. The landscape is etched by a network of drainage and natural waterways, including Beaver Creek, Langan Creek, and the N Martinton Ditch, which support the extensive farming grid.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-distributed burial sites across the township, such as Tegge Cem, Old Burg Cem, and Beaver Creek Cem. These landmarks, along with crossings like Perry Bridge, provide a clear view of the rural infrastructure and community layout in this corner of Illinois. The map illustrates how local transport, represented by routes like Co HWY 29, interfaces with the natural flow of Prairie Creek and other smaller tributaries.
