1998 Map of La Hogue

About this map

Ashkum, Danforth, and Douglas townships divide this section of Iroquois County, where the landscape is defined by the steady, geometric rhythm of the Public Land Survey System. The small settlement of La Hogue sits at a critical junction near the western edge of the map, while the larger center of Gilman occupies the southeastern corner. This area serves as a significant regional transportation hub, dominated by the Gilman Interchange where major regional thoroughfares converge. Beyond the structured road grid, the terrain is subtly marked by the winding path of Prairie Creek as it cuts across the southern townships. The presence of private aviation facilities like the Wilken Landing Strip and Kuiper Landing Strip suggests a landscape managed by large-scale agricultural interests during the late twentieth century.
