2024 Map of L'Erable

About this map

The Iroquois River meanders through the heart of this Iroquois County landscape, defining the agricultural character of the region. Near its banks, the settlement of L'Erable serves as a local focal point, accompanied by the Saint Johns Cem. The terrain is shaped by a dense network of waterways, including Langan Creek, Beaver Creek, and Prairie Creek, which drain into the main river channel. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section roads and county highways, such as Co HWY 29 and Co HWY 4, that connect the various farmsteads. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Beaver Creek Cem, Tegge Cem, and Old Burg Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogical research in this rural Illinois township.
