2015 Map of La Moille

About this map

The agricultural divide between Lee Co and Bureau Co defines this Illinois prairie landscape, where straight section-line roads bisect fertile farmland. La Moille serves as the primary hub, anchored by local landmarks such as Greenfield Cem and the historic path of Old Chicago Rd. To the northwest, the small settlement of Van Orin sits near the Van Orin Repose Cem, highlighting the area's deep-rooted family history. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Big Bureau Creek, Pike Cr, and Masters Fork, which cut through the otherwise level elevation. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Baird-Pumphrey Cem, Theiss Cem, and Saint Mary's Cem, are scattered across the township, offering a clear view of the early rural settlement patterns that still shape this region today.
