2024 Map of La Hogue

About this map

La Hogue sits at the heart of this Iroquois County landscape, defined by the grid-work of rural roads and the natural drainage of the Illinois prairie. The settlement of Gilman anchors the southeastern corner, where the transition from agricultural fields to town streets is visible. Waterways like Langan Creek and Prairie Creek meander through the township sections, providing a contrast to the geometric precision of the county road system. This modern topographic study shows how contemporary infrastructure, such as Gateway Dr and Co Hwy 24, continues to follow the historic township lines established over a century ago. The area remains a characteristic example of the central Illinois grain belt, where small agricultural hubs like La Hogue serve the surrounding farming community.
